It was around six pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were sitting there discussing the golf rankings, at the ready for the next call for the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Colyers and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia lease car by mistake. She was fairly affected it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected spot and, because it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less anxious. Another fuel drain in Bexley done well in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Bexley we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely never switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Bexley for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced 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 container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Colyers (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Bexley Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car. They will be able to handle any of the usual problems that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Colyers - Colyers Wrong Fuel

I had enjoyed a terrific evening golfing during my afternoon off and felt contented the next day as I set off to assist a young couple away in Colyers. They had stopped after inserting petrol into their Toyota, and the car was about half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal berating her spouse for being so silly. "How could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on on a regular basis in Bexley and that it's nothing to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!
