It was about six pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 6th job of the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Hythe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi hire car. She was very distressed apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to find her without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could go home to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Surrey done well in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Surrey we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases quite expediently.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Surrey to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hythe (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to refill the car. They are also able to fix the usual issues that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
