It was before 6 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were seated there discussing the tennis results, waiting for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Brick Hill and put petrol in her diesel Toyota hire car in error. The poor thing was fairly irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Surrey done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Surrey we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from people not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it right away. And obviously do not crank the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can certainly result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Surrey to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a garage, as long as we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Brick Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill the car. They will be able to handle any of the usual troubles that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Brick Hill - Brick Hill Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman phoned us from Brick Hill saying he had stupidly piped the wrong fuel into his diesel Dacia. "I can't believe it! How could I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car!" It took our engineer roughly 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He meticulously cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealership rates to get the task properly performed.
