It was just before ten pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting discussing the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we had a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Lower Bourne and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda lease car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could reach her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at.

Our Services:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Surrey we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists not knowing how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely don't switch on the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container placed at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Surrey for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Lower Bourne (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill the car. They can also deal with any of the standard problems that may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
