It was just after six pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports, ready for the seventh telephone call to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Heath End and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi hire car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Surrey done well in my mind!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Surrey we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations fairly swiftly.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Surrey to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Heath End (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will deal with the normal troubles which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
