It was after 5 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting discussing the weekend's footy, waiting around for the next call that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Hoe and put petrol in a diesel Dacia lease car. She was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to the lady right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Surrey done well in my mind!

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Surrey we have found progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container at the rear of your premises containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Surrey to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Hoe (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will handle the usual troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Hoe - Hoe Wrong Fuel Doctor

The other day a motorist phoned us because his Mazda died on a street in Hoe. He had by accident put petrol in the diesel vehicle and got so far as the street before needing to give up. It was early in the day and our technical engineer, who stays close by, reached him in about 15 minutes. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
