It was just before 10 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were relaxing there talking about the recent sports results, ready for the 6th job that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Locksbottom and filled petrol in her diesel Nissan lease car in error. The poor lady was pretty agitated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from our van, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Bromley well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Bromley we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you may probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is going to cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations rather easily.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Bromley to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Locksbottom (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up the car. They will fix any of the usual issues that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Locksbottom - Locksbottom Wrong Fuel

Last friday a man called us after his Suzuki cut out along a street in Locksbottom. He had by accident put unleaded in the diesel car and got to the road before having to stop. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who stays locally, reached him in approximately 15 minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the car. "Sincere kudos to you for your timely response, especially at 6 a.m., I appreciate it."
