Our Areas of Competency :

We are ready to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Croydon we have discovered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not understanding how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously never turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Croydon to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in South Croydon (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Croydon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle the common problems that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
