It was around 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the recent football results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Dunsfold and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford rental car by mistake. She was rather affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could reach the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and a lot less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Surrey well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do if you have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue is certainly damaging to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in your tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will be dragged into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And of course never switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel is likely to cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Surrey to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Dunsfold (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They can also take care of any of the standard problems which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Dunsfold - Dunsfold Fuel Drain

Last friday a young man contacted us soon after his Honda stopped on a road in Dunsfold. He had by mistake put unleaded in his diesel motor and drove as far as the street before needing to pull over.
