Services Our Company Offers:

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can solve any connected issues.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in case you may have poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? Adblue is certainly devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, causing serious and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is going to bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases very simply.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was roughly dawn and almost noone was about. It had become rather uneventful up to now, and Ray and I were sitting around looking at a couple of old newspapers. That was an unusual quiet hour in Croydon. Actually it was in fact that calm that the moment the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The customer on the other end stated: "I only just ended my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in my Vauxhall". We got him to let us know where exactly he was and we hit the road, getting to him in Upper Norwood not as much as 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the car. He said many thanks for arriving so rapidly. As we were going back home we noticed two women on the side of the road who looked like they had a puncture. So we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

Wrong Fuel Assist Upper Norwood - Upper Norwood Wrong Fuel Assist

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon fishing during my off day and felt cheerful with myself the next day as I headed out to assist a young couple holidaying in Upper Norwood. They had pulled over after adding diesel in their Dacia, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling off her man for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this situation goes on frequently in Croydon and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, but he all the same got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted farewell and wondered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the same blunder... I would never hear the end of it!
