Do you know that one can find more than 150,000 examples of people filling their car up using the incorrect type of fuel every single year?

Our skilled group of mechanics are available close to your location to come and help you at the side of the road using specialist tools.

It was before ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were resting there going over the weekend's footy, waiting for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Colyers and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed apparently, crying "I can not believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, as it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and much less worried. One more job in Bexley done well in my mind!

Services We Deliver:

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Bexley we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol may produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations very quickly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Bexley to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Colyers (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Bexley Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will deal with the typical troubles which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Colyers - Colyers Wrong Fuel Doctor

A motorist had broken down just off a street in Colyers. His Honda motor had ceased operating and he'd no clue what was awry until eventually he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got virtually no rest the night before and that must have been why.
