If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car in Rushmoor (petrol in diesel Rushmoor) we are the guys you need to get in touch with. We operate throughout the entirety of the Rushmoor area and all surrounding regions.

It was just before ten pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there commenting on the rugby results, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Rushmoor and filled petrol in a diesel Toyota hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and less apprehensive. Another job in Surrey done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Surrey we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you find yourself in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will likely lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases quite expediently.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Have a fuel tank sitting in the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Surrey to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Rushmoor (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck.

Petrol in Diesel Rushmoor - Rushmoor Petrol in Diesel

A couple of days ago a youngster telephoned us right after his Peugeot broke down on a street in Rushmoor. He had unintentionally put petrol in his diesel car and got as far as the street before needing to stop. It was still in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who resides not far away, was with him in about twenty minutes. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your prompt response, especially at 5 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
