It was about 6 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call to come in. Finally we got the call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Elmers End and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen hire car. The poor thing was quite affected apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this do happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected area and, since it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to get to her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Bromley well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it in case you have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is certainly disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in your tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases very easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Bromley to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Elmers End (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill the car. They are also able to deal with any of the common problems that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Elmers End - Elmers End Fuel Drain

A guy had stopped just near a street in Elmers End. His Porsche engine had ceased operating and he had no idea what was the problem till he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got no rest the evening before and that must have been the reason why.
