This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Bromley we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly do not switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances very expediently.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank at the back of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Bromley for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hockenden (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill the car. They can also fix the normal problems which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
