This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Surrey we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And definitely don't start the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel may trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations quite simply.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Surrey to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Hambledon (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the common troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hambledon, Surrey

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hambledon - Hambledon Wrong Fuel

I'd had a great day golfing on my off day and was feeling cheerful the following working day as I set out to help a new family who were away in Hambledon. They had pulled over after putting the wrong fuel in their Skoda, and were roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed while I heard to the girl berating her husband for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this happens constantly in Surrey and that it is nothing at all to worry about, but he all the same had an earful. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me if I did the same thing... I would personally never live it down!
