These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Bromley we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely don't start up the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather easily.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting in the back of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Bromley to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Petts Wood (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your automobile. They will be able to fix the standard issues which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Petts Wood - Petts Wood Wrong Fuel in Car

It was actually early in the morning and our engineer, who resides close by, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the car. "Thank you for your timely response, especially at 2 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
