Our Areas of Specialties: Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Surrey we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not start up the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations pretty expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Surrey for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Chiddingfold (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of the usual problems that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Chiddingfold - Chiddingfold Wrong Fuel in Car

I had appreciated a terrific day golfing during the weekend and felt cheerful the next day as I headed out to assist a young couple who were away in Chiddingfold. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol in their Volkswagen, and the car was close to half an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl telling off her man for being so silly. "Just how could you actually manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing takes place all the time in Surrey and that it's nothing at all to fret about, but he all the same got his ear bent by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the same error... I would personally never live it down!
