It was just after 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were seated there talking about the football rankings, prepared for the next call that day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Locksbottom and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault lease car in error. The poor thing was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and much less stressed. Yet another job in Bromley well done in my books!

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do if you?ve put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical made out of a mix of urea and ionized water (67.5%).Adblue is definitely harmful to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will be squirted into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And obviously don't start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol is going to cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
