Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Surrey we are identifying progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you get in this scenario don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical expertise and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Surrey to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Wrong Fuel Assist Whyteleafe - Whyteleafe Fuel Drain

I'd had a great day golfing during my off day and felt contented with myself the next morning as I set out to assist a young couple vacationing in Whyteleafe. They pulled over after inserting diesel in their Volvo, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I heard to the woman berating her man for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this situation goes on on daily basis in Surrey and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he all the same got his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted so long and wondered what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the exact same error... I would personally never live it down!
