Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Surrey we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is likely to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases fairly expediently.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Surrey for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Shipley Bridge (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They can also take care of the most common troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Shipley Bridge - Shipley Bridge Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a terrific day golfing on the weekend and felt pleased the following day as I set out to assist a new family who were away in Shipley Bridge. They conked out after putting petrol in their Vauxhall, and were around half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked as I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this problem occurs regularly in Surrey and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, but he still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would say to me if I made the exact same error... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
