We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Bromley we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely never turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will often contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations very expediently.

Take note that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container placed at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Bromley to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Pratts Bottom (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Bromley Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will take care of any of the most common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Pratts Bottom - Pratts Bottom Vehicle Misfuel

This was an unsociable hour to be up. It was about dawn and noone was about. It was fairly uneventful until now, and me and Mark were relaxing looking at several old papers. It was an unusual restful hour in Bromley. It was that calm that the instant the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice on the phone explained: "I've only just ended my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in my Dacia by mistake". We told him to inform us where exactly he was situated and we left, getting to him in Pratts Bottom no more than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He said thanks a lot for coming so fast. As we were heading back home we spotted two girls at the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. So we pulled up to help them change it, much to their delight.
