The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle!

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Surrey we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances quite expediently.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Surrey for the purpose of removing and disposing of 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 container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance
