It was after 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there going over the weekend's footy, ready for the next telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Coram and filled petrol in her diesel Ford rental car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. A job in Bromley well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Bromley we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely never crank the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases rather quickly.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Bromley to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, providing we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Coram (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Bromley Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the standard issues which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
