It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were resting there going over the rugby results, ready for the 6th call to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Lingfield Common and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things often happen. She was able to move the car to a safe spot and, as it was just a few minutes off from us, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. Another job in Surrey done well in my mind!

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Surrey we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And definitely never crank the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can easily cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations fairly simply.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Surrey for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Lingfield Common (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your car. They can also deal with the normal problems which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
