We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Surrey we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely never turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can certainly produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting in the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Surrey for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run out of fuel in Elstead (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the usual issues which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

He had mistakenly put the incorrect fuel in his diesel motor and drove as far as the road before having to pull over. It was in the early hours of the day and our technician, who resides close by, was with him in less than 15 minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back into the car.
