Our Fields of Expertise:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Croydon we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists not being aware of how to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will often bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Croydon to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Addiscombe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Croydon Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill the car. They will be able to handle any of the normal problems which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

We completed a wrong fuel removal job outside a spectacular house in Addiscombe not so long ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to more or less reach home when my car quit." Our specialist went out, regardless that it was fairly late at night, and completed a fuel drain and cleanse on the Fiat to everyone's satisfaction.

Fuel Rescue Addiscombe - Addiscombe Fuel Rescue

A driver from Addiscombe with a full car of youngsters in her diesel MG had put £45 of petrol at the Texaco station. She phoned us crying and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and did not know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that the vehicle would be okay and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we arrived she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough brightened up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the little ones in the back."

Wrong Fuel in Car Addiscombe - Addiscombe Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a perfect evening golfing on my holiday and felt contented with myself the following morning as I was on the way to assist a new couple who were on vacation in Addiscombe. They broken down after adding diesel in their Volvo, and the car was close to an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smirked as I listened to the woman chastising her hubby for turning out to be so daft. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this goes on on a regular basis in Croydon and that it's nothing at all to stress about, however he all the same got an ear bashing. Poor boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove off I mouthed farewell and wondered what my wife would do to me if I made the same error... I would personally never ever live it down!
