If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Hambledon (petrol in diesel Hambledon) we are the company you need to phone. We cover the entirety of the Hambledon area and all surrounding towns.

It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting talking over the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the seventh call to come in. Finally we received a call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Hambledon and filled petrol in a diesel Toyota hire car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could arrive at the woman right away. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and not so stressed. One more misfuel correction in Surrey well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Surrey we have seen progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists being unsure of 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 generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations very easily.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container in the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Surrey for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hambledon (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car. They will take care of the normal issues which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Hambledon - Hambledon Fuel Removal

A customer called us from his place on a close in Hambledon. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Chevrolet) is not starting and is producing awful noises when I flip the key." He said that he put petrol in his diesel car but then reckoned he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He told us that he'd be sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
