It was about 6 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting there commenting on the recent footy results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Box Hill and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen rental. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less stressed. One more job in Surrey well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Surrey we have identified increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And certainly don't crank the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container laying in the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Surrey for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Box Hill (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your car. They will be able to fix the usual troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Box Hill - Box Hill Fuel Rescue

A customer contacted us from his residence on a close in Box Hill. He exclaimed, "My car (a Ford) is not running and is generating terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then believed he would solve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained right away.
