Our Fields of Specialties:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Croydon we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In case you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations quite quickly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
