It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the sixth call to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Littleton Common and put petrol in a diesel SEAT rental car. The poor thing was fairly agitated apparently, saying "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could find her right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home satisfied and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Surrey well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Surrey we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may well trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Surrey to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Littleton Common (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to fix the most common problems that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.
