AdBlue Contamination

All over Surrey we have noticed more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not knowing how to work with it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course do not switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can certainly lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations very simply.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container laying in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Surrey for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Holmwood Corner (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your car. They are also able to fix any of the usual issues that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
