Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Surrey we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not understanding how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And absolutely do not turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations very quickly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Surrey for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Woodham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car. They will be able to deal with any of the most common issues that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Woodham - Woodham Vehicle Misfuel

A man had broken down just off a street in Woodham. His Hyundai car had stopped working and he'd no idea what was the problem until eventually he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
