It was just after 6 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting talking over the recent sports, waiting around for the 8th call for the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Bromley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen rental in error. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in West Midlands well done in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around West Midlands we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not being aware of the way to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course do not start the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you would likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases very easily.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in West Midlands for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Bromley (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete West Midlands Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the normal troubles which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Bromley - Bromley Vehicle Misfuel

A man called us from Bromley saying he had stupidly piped unleaded into his diesel MG. "Shocking! I can't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car!" It took our engineer around fifty minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel from the vehicle. He completely cleaned the fuel system and then put clean fuel in the vehicle. The customer was completely satisfied and it didn't cost him dealership rates to get the job properly performed.
