It was before six pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were resting talking about the footy rankings, waiting for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Leigh and filled petrol in a diesel Chevrolet rental in error. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Surrey well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Surrey we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious issue to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases very easily.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Surrey to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Leigh (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and fill up the car. They will be able to deal with the typical troubles that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Leigh - Leigh Fuel Rescue

I'd had a wonderful afternoon cycling during my day off and felt pleased the following day as I set off to assist a young couple vacationing in Leigh. They stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their Volkswagen, and were around half an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling off her partner for being so stupid. "Just how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in Surrey and that it's nothing to be anxious about, however he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
