It was after seven pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there discussing the footy results, waiting around for the sixth call for the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Farnborough and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. The poor thing was rather troubled apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, as it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Bromley done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Bromley we are discovering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And of course be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Bromley to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Farnborough (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They can also deal with the most common issues which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Farnborough - Farnborough Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a fantastic evening golfing on my off day and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I set out to help a young couple who were holidaying in Farnborough. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their Citroen, and were about half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smiled while I heard to the girl telling off her man for actually being so stupid. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this problem happens all the time in Bromley and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he still got an earful by his wife. Unlucky boy. In any case, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove off I waved good-bye and wondered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
