It was just after five pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing going over the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Mount Hermon and put petrol in a diesel Suzuki rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. A job in Surrey done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Surrey we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not knowing the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously never crank the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations rather expediently.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Surrey for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Mount Hermon (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will take care of any of the most common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Mount Hermon - Mount Hermon Fuel Drain

A guy had broken down just near a road in Mount Hermon. His SEAT car had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was wrong until eventually he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that could have been precisely why.
