It was just before five pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were sitting there going over the footy, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Hockenden and filled petrol in a diesel Chevrolet rental by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from our van, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. Yet another job in Bromley well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Bromley we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely do not crank the car - not even to move it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container in the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Bromley to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered 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 an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Hockenden (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will deal with any of the standard issues that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
