Our service is SPA accredited, and offers nationwide coverage for anyone who has accidentally misfuelled.

It was before 5 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated discussing the football results, waiting around for the 6th job that day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Locksbottom and filled petrol in a diesel Volvo rental car. The poor thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things often happen. She was able to move the car to a safe space and, as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could reach the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and not so concerned. Another job in Bromley well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed if you?ve put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s made of a mixture of urea and ionized water.It can be disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be squirted into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely do not turn over the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you may most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Bromley for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.
