Our Fields of Expertise:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Surrey we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely do not crank the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank may well lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances quite expediently.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed in the back of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Surrey to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Hythe (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the standard problems that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hythe - Hythe Wrong Fuel Drain

Last friday a motorist telephoned us after his Honda stopped working on a road in Hythe. He had inadvertently put petrol in his diesel motor and got so far as the road before having to halt. It was really early in the day and our engineer, who lives nearby, reached him in approximately 15 minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back into the car. "Many thanks to you for your fast response, particularly at 4 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
