It was close to eight pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not ceased pouring! Brian and I were relaxing there talking about the rugby, at the ready for the next job for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Pratts Bottom and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda rental in error. The unfortunate lady was very irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Bromley well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Bromley we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If you have started the car you will most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases pretty quickly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Bromley to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Pratts Bottom (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to handle the most common issues that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
