It was just after 10 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports results, waiting for the seventh call of the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Pratts Bottom and filled petrol in her diesel Volvo rental in error. The poor lady was fairly affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing as it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and less worried. Another job in Bromley well done in my opinion!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Bromley we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases rather easily.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Bromley for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Pratts Bottom (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car. They can also deal with any of the normal problems which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Pratts Bottom - Pratts Bottom Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling pleased the next morning as I headed out to aid a young family away in Pratts Bottom. They had broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their Suzuki, and the car was roughly half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling her man off for being so daft. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing takes place everyday in Bromley and that it's actually absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed so long and thought about what my wife would tell me if I made the same error... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
