It was before six pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and me were seated going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the 6th job to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Egham Wick and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI hire car. She was quite distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Surrey well done in my mind!

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can solve any related issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Surrey we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly never crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is going to bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances quite easily.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying at the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Surrey to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced 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 an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Egham Wick (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the common troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
