It was after ten pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were seated there discussing the recent football results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Elmers End and put petrol in a diesel Citroen hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite affected by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things can happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe spot and, as it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to reach her without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at.

Our Areas of Competency :

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Bromley we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel may lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations quite simply.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Bromley to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Elmers End (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your automobile. They will be able to handle the normal troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
