Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Bromley we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can easily lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Bromley to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Widmore (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with the common issues that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Widmore - Widmore Petrol in Diesel

I had appreciated a wonderful afternoon golfing on my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a young couple vacationing in Widmore. They'd stopped after putting petrol into their Hyundai, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady chastising her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass all the time in Bromley and that it's really absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed bon voyage and considered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the same blunder... I'd never ever live it down!
