It was after 9 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting there commenting on the recent rugby, prepared for the seventh call that day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in The Sands and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault rental car in error. The poor thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, since it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to find her quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another job in Surrey done well in my books!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Surrey we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to start the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations quite expediently.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank in the back of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Surrey for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in The Sands (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the normal troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue The Sands - The Sands Wrong Fuel in Car

A guy had conked out just off a road in The Sands. His Jaguar engine had ceased functioning and he'd no idea what was the problem until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel 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 wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason.
