Other Fuel Services
Apart from remedial services when you have the wrong fuel in a car, we are highly adept at other solutions like disposing of contaminated fuel. Most people, however, do not know that we do and that it is not an easy task. It is a difficult process because we have to religiously observe the stringent regulations set by the Environment Agency and there has to be legal certification before any fuel is gotten rid of. We provide this service to both private and commercial clients. Therefore, as long as they can give us access, we can dispose of contaminated fuel in a container, trailer load or fixed huge capacity tank. You can rest assured that we do all this safely and legally.
In addition, we also handle other relevant issues that might affect the normal functioning of your fuel system. A case in point is when you add any unwanted liquid like water that might cause fuel contamination in your fuel system. As much as AdBlue is a highly recommended diesel emission cleaner when added directly to your fuel system, it might cause engine malfunctioning. To avoid all this, it's extremely recommended to obtain an expert who knows what to do and have you running again.
It doesn't matter if it is AdBlue or water, our mechanics are experts in taking out the wrong mixture that has been added to your fuel tank.
A motorist employed nearby phoned us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fueled automobile to work. She had filled petrol in her diesel Broomhill and, like many prior to her, thought that she would be able to just fill her vehicle with diesel and it would be no problem. The engine was spluttering and then it died when she came to the entrance of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted in an hour while she was in the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm really delighted you sorted my car."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Broomhill - Petrol in Diesel Broomhill
It was after 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! James and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's football results, at the ready for the seventh call to arrive. In due time we received the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station and filled petrol in her diesel Broomhill lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could get to the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction well done in my books!
