It was just before 5 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were resting discussing the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Hooley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW hire car by mistake. She was rather affected it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and much less anxious. One more job in Surrey well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Surrey we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And of course never crank the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel may trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases rather simply.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Surrey to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hooley (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will take care of any of the most common troubles which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hooley - Hooley Fuel Drain

A man had conked out off a road in Hooley. His MINI engine had ceased functioning and he had no clue what was the problem till he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got very little rest the day before and that must have been precisely why.
