It was just before 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing going over the recent sports results, waiting for the 6th job of the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Addlestonemoor and put petrol in her diesel SEAT hire car by mistake. She was very affected apparently, crying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to find the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Another fuel drain in Surrey well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Surrey we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely do not start the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances quite quickly.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Surrey for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Addlestonemoor (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the 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 fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of the common issues that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Addlestonemoor - Addlestonemoor Fuel Removal

A customer contacted us from his place on a close in Addlestonemoor. He explained, "My vehicle (a Chevrolet) is not starting up and is creating dreadful sounds when I turn the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then believed he would resolve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to tell people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
