It was before 9 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Wyke and filled petrol in her diesel Dacia rental. She was rather troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe area and, since it was just a short distance from the office, we could get to the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the hotel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. A job in Surrey done well in my mind!

Listed here are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Surrey we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances rather easily.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank at the back of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Surrey to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Wyke (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the standard troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Wyke - Wyke Wrong Fuel

A gentleman phoned us from Wyke to state that he had piped petrol in to his diesel BMW. "Unbelievable! I can't believe I put unleaded in my beautiful diesel car!" It took the technician around 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He thoroughly cleaned the fuel system and put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to have the task properly done.
