If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Chelsham (incorrect fuel Chelsham) we are the professionals you need to contact. We cover the entirety of the Chelsham vicinity and all adjoining parts.

It was before five pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there talking about the golf rankings, ready for the next job for the day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Chelsham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes lease car by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and less concerned. Another job in Surrey done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do if you have poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that?s composed of a blend of high-purity deionized water and urea.It is certainly harmful to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, causing catastrophic and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely never turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will often trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases pretty easily.

Be aware that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying in the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Surrey to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel Drain Chelsham - Chelsham Fuel Rescue

I appreciated a fantastic day golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling pleased the following working day as I set out to help a young couple who were holidaying in Chelsham. They'd broken down after adding petrol into their Volkswagen, and they were about half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled as I listened to the woman chastising her man for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this happens regularly in Surrey and that it is nothing to be concerned about, and yet he all the same had an earful by his missus. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
