It was just after 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were sitting there commenting on the footy rankings, ready for the seventh job to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Gatton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota lease car by mistake. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from us, we could reach her quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and a lot less worried. Another job in Surrey done well in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Gatton - Gatton Wrong Fuel
I had enjoyed a wonderful day golfing on the weekend and felt pleased the next day as I set out to assist a young family away in Gatton. They broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their Volvo, and the car was about an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the lady berating her husband for turning out to be so daft. "How could you even be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this takes place quite frequently in Surrey and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my missus would do to me if I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never live it down!

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can fix any associated issues.
AdBlue In your Fuel
In Surrey we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially due to people not understanding how to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.
Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you may probably have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases very simply.
Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
Removal of Waste Fuel
Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Surrey to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.
Re-Fueling Assistance
Run out of fuel in Gatton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car. They will fix the usual issues that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
Vehicle Misfuel Gatton - Gatton Wrong Fuel in Car
I enjoyed a great day fishing during my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I was on the way to aid a new family on vacation in Gatton. They'd stopped after inserting diesel into their MG, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smiled as I listened to the wife chastising her husband for being so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this situation happens all the time in Surrey and that it is nothing to fret about, however he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

We purged the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel system thoroughly and the driver was able to go on with his deliveries.
Wrong Fuel Gatton - Gatton Wrong Fuel in Car
A motorist employed in Gatton phoned us shortly after she had tried to get her wrong fuelled vehicle to her office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo and, like plenty prior to her, assumed that she would be able to just fill up her car with diesel and it would run okay. The engine was coughing and then it stopped when she came to the entrance of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed in an hour or so while she was at work. She came out soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm really delighted you repaired my vehicle."
