Our Areas of Specialties:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Bromley we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it right away. And definitely never crank the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container placed at the back of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Bromley to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Elmstead Woods (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Bromley Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle the usual problems which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Elmstead Woods - Elmstead Woods Vehicle Misfuel

I had a terrific day golfing during my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I set out to aid a young family vacationing in Elmstead Woods. They pulled over after filling petrol in their Smart, and the car was roughly an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed while I listened to the wife chastising her hubby for being so silly. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing happens frequently in Bromley and that it is nothing to stress about, even so he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. Poor boy. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved bon voyage and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
