It was before 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing talking about the footy results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Dockenfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental car by mistake. The poor thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less worried. Another fuel drain in Surrey well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Surrey we are finding a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can potentially lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases quite easily.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Surrey to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Dockenfield (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to handle the most common problems that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Dockenfield - Dockenfield Fuel Drain

Last friday a driver called us just after his Toyota ground to a halt in the middle of a street in Dockenfield. He had accidentally put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and got so far as the street before having to stop. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who stays not far away, got to him in less than 15 minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the car. "Genuine thanks to you for your timely response, especially at 3 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
