Petrol in diesel Hockenden?

We're simply a telephone call away.

It was close to five pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and me were sitting talking over the golf results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Hockenden and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia hire car. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Bromley well done in my books!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Bromley we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations pretty easily.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Bromley to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hockenden (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Bromley Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up the car. They will deal with any of the typical troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Hockenden - Hockenden Wrong Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out near a road in Hockenden. His Vauxhall motor had ceased working and he'd no clue what was wrong until eventually he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the day before and that must have been precisely why.
