It was just before 6 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting there talking over the recent footy rankings, waiting for the 8th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Beckenham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan rental car. The poor lady was rather troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things sadly can happen. She managed to move the car into a secure space and, as it was just a short distance off from the office, we could reach her almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and much less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Bromley done well in my mind!

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Bromley we have discovered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may well trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases quite easily.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Bromley to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Beckenham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They are also able to deal with the common issues which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Beckenham - Beckenham Vehicle Misfuel

A guy had stopped just near a street in Beckenham. His Dacia motor had stopped working and he had no clue what was wrong right up until he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten very little rest the day before and that could have been the key reason why.
