It was after ten pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring! Ray and I were seated there discussing the rugby results, waiting for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Chislehurst and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart lease car by mistake. The poor thing was very irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at the lady right away. The wrong fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Bromley done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Bromley we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not being aware of the way to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Bromley to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Chislehurst (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will take care of the normal issues which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Chislehurst - Chislehurst Fuel Rescue

I had a wonderful day hiking on my holiday and felt contented with myself the next working day as I set off to help a young family on holiday in Chislehurst. They had pulled over after filling petrol into their Mazda, and were close to half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the lady telling her man off for being so stupid. "How could you conceivably be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this situation takes place all the time in Bromley and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he yet still got an earful by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would never ever live it down!
