Our Areas of Competency :

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Bromley we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course do not crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases very quickly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Bromley to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Shortlands (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Bromley Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will deal with any of the normal problems which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Shortlands - Shortlands Fuel Removal

A couple of days ago a young man contacted us right after his Land Rover died along a road in Shortlands. He had by mistake put the wrong fuel in his diesel motor and drove as far as the road before having to stop. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who resides locally, was with him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the car. "Genuine kudos to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I am grateful for it."

Recent Fuel Drains in Shortlands

Stories from our Shortlands team:

Now I am not ever overly inclined to doing work weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just departed home following a magnificent lunch made by the better half, and I was on the way to sort out a gentleman who put the incorrect petrol in his Suzuki. He was situated in Shortlands thus I arrived there before long. As I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my attention on other stuff and didn't ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought about any kind of problems by running it?" I stated that generally there probably should not be any harm and that I would personally drain the fuel immediately for him. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and then yet another happy customer was able to continue on their trip without any subsequent hassle. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Bromley just a tiny bit easier for me!

Wrong Fuel Assist Shortlands - Shortlands Petrol in Diesel

A customer from Shortlands with her kids in her diesel Volkswagen had put £40 of petrol at the BP service station. She phoned us sobbing and very worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that the car would be okay and that she would be back in action quickly. When we got there she was still upset but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the kids in the back."

Wrong Fuel in Car Shortlands - Shortlands Wrong Fuel Drain

Yesterday a motorist telephoned us after his MG died in the middle of a street in Shortlands. He had mistakenly put unleaded in the diesel motor and got to the road before having to halt. It was yet early in the day and our fuel drainer, who stays close by, reached him in approximately twenty minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the car. "Thank you for your fast response, particularly at 1 a.m., I really appreciate it."
