It was just before seven pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's football, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Shottermill and put petrol in her diesel Fiat rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated it seemed, crying "I can not believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things happen. She managed to get the car into a protected position and, since it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Surrey well done in my books!

Our Services:

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can solve any related issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you should do in the event that you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? Adblue can be damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be squirted into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And of course take care not to start up the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed in the back of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Surrey to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Shottermill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car. They are also able to fix any of the usual issues that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
