It was before seven pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were sitting there going over the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Coombe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover hire car. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and less concerned. A fuel drain in Croydon well done in my mind!

Listed here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Croydon we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Any time you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances very quickly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Croydon to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Coombe (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the most common problems which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Coombe - Coombe Fuel Removal

A guy had broken down just off a street in Coombe. His Vauxhall car had ceased running and he had no clue what was awry right up until he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten very little rest the evening before and that must have been why.
