It was just after seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were resting talking about the weekend's footy, waiting for the sixth job for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Bromley and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda rental. The poor lady was rather affected it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car to a protected space and, as it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could return to the motel she was living in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Kingston upon Thames done well in my books!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Kingston upon Thames we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases rather expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the 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 laying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Kingston upon Thames to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Bromley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Kingston upon Thames Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They will be able to fix the normal troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Bromley, Kingston upon Thames

Wrong Fuel Bromley - Bromley Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a perfect evening fishing on my holiday and was feeling contented the following day as I set off to help a young family who were on vacation in Bromley. They had conked out after adding diesel into their Mazda, and were about an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smiled as I listened to the gal chastising her man for being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this happens quite frequently in Kingston upon Thames and that it's nothing to be concerned about, however he yet still got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted goodbye and pondered on what my wife would say to me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
