Our business is SPA certified, and provides nationwide cover for anyone who has accidentally tanked up with the wrong fuel.

It was around eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting there talking over the rugby, ready for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Frimley and filled petrol in her diesel Ford lease car in error. The poor lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to get the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Surrey well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Surrey we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not being aware of how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely don't start up the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will likely produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking spot we should be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container sitting in the back of the garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Surrey to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Frimley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They can also handle any of the normal troubles that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
