It was just after 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated there discussing the golf, prepared for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Burrows Cross and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi hire car. The unfortunate lady was very troubled it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to move the car into a protected area and, since it was just a few minutes from the office, we could get to the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Surrey done well in my opinion!

Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Surrey we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not knowing the way to work with it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely never start up the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases very quickly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Surrey to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Burrows Cross (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill your automobile. They can also handle the standard issues that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
