Wrong Fuel Doctor Croydon - Croydon Wrong Fuel Assist

Just had a good night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Monday and I was en route to help an old woman who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda in Croydon. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a backwater road on the way to see her family. I popped her location in the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I reached the location and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she said, "Now I'm getting fairly forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I'd only got it a few days back because my previous car, which I had used for more than twenty five years, eventually died". I finished the drain and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Croydon lady!

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it in case you have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made from a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water.Adblue can be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And obviously take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations quite easily.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Croydon for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Croydon (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Croydon Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will take care of the usual troubles which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel Drain Croydon - Croydon Wrong Fuel in Car

A guy had broken down just near a street in Croydon. His Land Rover car had ceased functioning and he'd no idea what was the problem till he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle."

Petrol in Diesel Croydon - Croydon Wrong Fuel Assist

A young lady from Croydon with her kids in her diesel Fiat had filled her car with £40 of petrol at the Texaco service station. She contacted us crying and really upset as she had never wrong fuelled previously and didn't know what could happen to her car because of it. We assured her that all should be okay and that she would be back on the road very quickly. When we got there she was visible distressed but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the kids on board."

Wrong Fuel in Car Croydon - Croydon Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a perfect day golfing during my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I set out to assist a new couple who were on holiday in Croydon. They stopped after adding the wrong fuel into their Porsche, and were around half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and laughed as I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this takes place quite frequently in Croydon and that it's nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Poor chap. Anyhow, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some right fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
