It was after ten pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were sitting talking about the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the next job to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Farnborough and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat hire car. She was very affected it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure spot and, since it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at.

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Bromley we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to address in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Bromley for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Farnborough (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Bromley Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up your car. They will deal with any of the standard issues which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
