Finally we received a call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Derry Downs and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi hire car in error. She was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!"

AdBlue Contamination

All over Bromley we are discovering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And most certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank is going to contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases fairly swiftly.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Bromley to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Derry Downs (out of gas - as an American might 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 the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.

Wrong Fuel Drain Derry Downs - Derry Downs Wrong Fuel Assist

I had appreciated a terrific afternoon cycling on the weekend and felt pleased the following day as I set off to assist a young couple holidaying in Derry Downs. They had broken down after adding petrol in their Audi, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the woman telling her husband off for being so confused. "How could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this situation goes on constantly in Bromley and that it's nothing at all to stress about, however he still got an earful. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I shouted good-bye and wondered what my wife would do to me if I made the very same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
