AdBlue In your Fuel

In Croydon we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you find yourself in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised know-how and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will likely result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations quite easily.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Croydon to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Coombe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will deal with the usual problems which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Coombe - Coombe Vehicle Misfuel

I had a terrific evening golfing during my holiday and was feeling contented the next working day as I headed out to help a young couple on vacation in Coombe. They had stopped after filling diesel in their Chevrolet, and they were about an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the lady telling off her partner for actually being so foolish. "How could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place everyday in Croydon and that it's nothing to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted hasta la vista and considered what my missus would say to me if I did the same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
