It was just before 9 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were relaxing commenting on the football, ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Mead Vale and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat rental in error. She was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Surrey well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Surrey we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying at the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to 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 removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Mead Vale (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They can also deal with the standard problems which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Mead Vale - Mead Vale Fuel Drain

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon golfing during my holiday and felt cheerful the next day as I was en route to aid a new couple who were on vacation in Mead Vale. They pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their Volkswagen, and the car was about an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I listened to the wife berating her spouse for turning out to be so confused. "How could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass everyday in Surrey and that it's truly nothing to be concerned about, but he all the same had an earful. Poor chap. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
