It was around ten pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on raining! Paul and me were relaxing going over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Hockenden and put petrol in a diesel Renault lease car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could find the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. One more job in Bromley done well in my mind!

Our Services:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? It can be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And obviously do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you would probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases fairly easily.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Bromley to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered 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 reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Hockenden (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Bromley Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They are also able to take care of the most common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
