It was about six pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry day, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were resting there talking over the weekend's football, ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Orpington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki hire car in error. She was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in Bromley done well in my books!

Services We Deliver:

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Bromley we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel is going to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather expediently.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container in the rear of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Bromley to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Orpington (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your car or truck. They can also take care of the common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Orpington - Orpington Vehicle Misfuel

A motorist had stopped just near a road in Orpington. His SEAT car had ceased operating and he'd no clue what was faulty right up until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my car."
