Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Croydon we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances quite quickly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Croydon to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Woodside (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Croydon Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They can also handle the typical troubles which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
