It was about 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing discussing the footy, prepared for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Earlswood and filled petrol in a diesel Chevrolet hire car in error. She was rather agitated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off contented and not so stressed. One more job in Surrey done well in my opinion!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Surrey we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly due to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And definitely don't switch on the car - not even to shift it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases quite simply.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Surrey for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages.

Fuel Rescue Earlswood - Earlswood Fuel Drain

I'd had a fantastic afternoon fishing during my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I set out to aid a new family who were vacationing in Earlswood. They conked out after filling diesel into their Ford, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the lady telling her husband off for being so silly. "How could you actually find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing happens on daily basis in Surrey and that it's actually absolutely nothing to stress about, nonetheless he still had an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I drained all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
