Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Croydon we have found a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not knowing the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And of course be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Croydon to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.
