Wrong Fuel in Car Southborough - Southborough Fuel Drain

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Wednesday and I was en route to help an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel Skoda in Southborough. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station and was stranded on a backwater lane on route to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched into the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel as I'd only purchased it a few days ago right after my former one, which I'd owned for over 25 years, finally stopped working". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. What a pleasant Bromley lady!

Our Areas of Competency :

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Bromley we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly be careful not to start up the car - not even to move it to a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will often lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances quite swiftly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Bromley for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Southborough (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Bromley Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car. They will handle the standard troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Last friday a motorist phoned us after his Smart ground to a halt on a street in Southborough. He had accidentally put the wrong fuel in the diesel motor and had managed to drive as far as the road before needing to stop. It was actually early in the morning and our technical engineer, who lives locally, reached him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the car. "Many thanks to you for your immediate response, especially at 6 a.m., I really am grateful for it."

Testimonies from our Southborough employees:

A teen who had only passed his test had misfueled his Fiat by having unleaded in his diesel at the petrol station near Southborough. He said, "This is the third occasion I have put fuel in my car since I purchased it and I have no idea of how to handle it." He was anxious because his step father had only just got him the car. He found us on the internet and so called us without delay, frightened about what he should do. Our person on the call explained to him that we could be with him inside forty five minutes and to not touch the vehicle while he waited. We carried out the fuel drain on his vehicle and he said how surprised he was that it was handled so quickly and no complication .

A customer employed in Southborough phoned us after she had tried to get her misfueled car to her office. She had put unleaded in her diesel Renault and, like plenty before her, thought that she would be able to just top up the vehicle with diesel and it would run no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she reached the entrance of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed inside 60 minutes while she was working. She came out soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm really pleased you repaired my car."

A customer rang us from his home on a road in Southborough. He exclaimed, "My car (a Citroen) is not starting and is making awful sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to educate people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
