It was about 5 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were sitting talking about the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the 6th job that day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Sundridge and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar hire car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Bromley well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Bromley we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases fairly easily.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Bromley for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.
