It was after 9 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting commenting on the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to come in. Before long we received a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Gatton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel grey BMW 550 rental in error. The unfortunate lady was quite agitated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected space and, because it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could find the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and much less concerned. Yet another job in Surrey well done in my mind!

We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Surrey to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances very easily.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
