It was close to 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and I were relaxing there going over the recent sports results, waiting for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Broom Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda lease car. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things can happen. She was able to move the car into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. A job in Bromley done well in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Bromley we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not understanding the way to work with it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely do not start up the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. If you did start the car you would probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel may well trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances rather simply.

Take note that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying in the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Bromley to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Broom Hill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Bromley Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also fix any of the common troubles that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Broom Hill - Broom Hill Vehicle Misfuel

A motorist had conked out just near a street in Broom Hill. His Suzuki motor had stopped working and he had no idea what was awry until eventually he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got virtually no sleep the night before and that must have been why.
