Petrol in your diesel car in Keston Mark? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this situatiuon and get you moving again with our specialist fuel drain service.

It was just after 5 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing talking over the recent golf, at the ready for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Keston Mark and put petrol in a diesel Kia rental by mistake. She was very distressed apparently, stating "I can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and much less stressed. A job in Bromley well done in my opinion!

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Bromley we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely take care not to start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations very expediently.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Bromley to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Keston Mark (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the standard issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Keston Mark - Keston Mark Fuel Removal

I appreciated a great evening cycling on my holiday and felt contented the next working day as I headed out to help a young couple holidaying in Keston Mark. They'd stopped after putting petrol in their Mitsubishi, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smirked while I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Just how could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this problem goes on all the time in Bromley and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he still got an earful by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. In any case, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
