It was just before 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated there discussing the rugby results, waiting for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Orpington and filled petrol in her diesel MINI rental car by mistake. She was rather agitated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, also that these things often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. Yet another job in Bromley well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Bromley we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not start the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations pretty expediently.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Bromley for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Orpington (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Bromley Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will handle the common issues which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Orpington - Orpington Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a wonderful evening fishing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next morning as I was en route to assist a new family on holiday in Orpington. They'd stopped after putting petrol into their Smart, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you actually be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass on daily basis in Bromley and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his missus. Unfortunate guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
