It was before eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were resting going over the recent football, waiting around for the 8th job to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Ottershaw and filled petrol in a diesel Peugeot rental car. She was rather affected apparently, stating "I can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to move the car into a secure spot and, since it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and less stressed. Yet another job in Surrey well done in my opinion!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Surrey we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to people not understanding the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you get in this scenario don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases rather easily.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Surrey to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Ottershaw (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also fix the most common troubles which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Ottershaw - Ottershaw Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a fantastic afternoon hiking on my off day and felt satisfied with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a new couple who were holidaying in Ottershaw. They conked out after putting diesel into their Mitsubishi, and the car was close to half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this situation takes place continuously in Surrey and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove off I mouthed goodbye and thought about what her indoors would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I would never ever live it down!
