AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Bromley we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not knowing the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will often result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations pretty easily.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Bromley to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Orpington (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Bromley Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car. They will be able to deal with the common problems which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Orpington - Orpington Fuel Drain

I had a wonderful afternoon cycling on my afternoon off and felt contented with myself the following morning as I headed out to help a new couple who were on vacation in Orpington. They pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their Mercedes, and they were roughly an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Bromley and that it is nothing to stress about, even so he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Poor chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and thought about what my missus would tell me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I would never live it down!
