It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were sitting talking over the recent sports, at the ready for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Farnborough and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, since it was just a few miles off from our van, we could get to the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and much less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Bromley done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Bromley we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of people not understanding the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely take care not to start up the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank is going to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very easily.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Bromley to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Farnborough (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They can also take care of the most common problems which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
