It was just after five pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were seated commenting on the recent sports results, at the ready for the seventh call to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in The Sands and filled petrol in her diesel Mercedes lease car in error. The poor lady was very distressed apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from us, we could get to the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in.

Our Areas of Competency :

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Surrey we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations rather simply.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Surrey to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in The Sands (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car. They can also handle the common troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain The Sands - The Sands Petrol in Diesel

Last week a motorist telephoned us soon after his BMW cut out in the middle of a street in The Sands.

It was still in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who resides close by, reached him in approximately fifteen minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your immediate response, particularly at 1 a.m., I am grateful for it."
