It was before ten pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking over the tennis results, at the ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Selhurst and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche hire car in error. The poor thing was rather irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the car to a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Croydon well done in my books!

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can fix any associated problems.
AdBlue In your Fuel
All over Croydon we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the car.
Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course do not turn over the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank may contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very easily.
Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains

Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We did a wrong fuel retrieval job near a beautiful residential home in Selhurst a few weeks ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and was able to almost get home when my car cut out."

Fuel Removal Selhurst - Selhurst Petrol in Diesel
A customer driving in Selhurst phoned us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fuelled vehicle to the office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar and, like many prior to her, imagined that she could simply top up the vehicle with diesel and it'd run okay. The engine was coughing and then it cut out when she reached the the front of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved within one hour while she was in the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely delighted you fixed my car."
