It was around 6 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were seated talking about the recent golf results, waiting around for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Norley Common and put petrol in a diesel Citroen lease car in error. She was pretty irritated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure space and, since it was only a few minutes from us, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in.

Our Areas of Competency :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Surrey we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying at the back of the garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Surrey to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Norley Common (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to handle any of the usual issues that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Norley Common - Norley Common Wrong Fuel in Car

I appreciated a terrific evening cycling during my day off and was feeling contented the following morning as I set out to assist a young couple who were away in Norley Common. They stopped after inserting petrol into their Ford, and they were approximately half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and smiled while I heard to the wife telling her man off for actually being so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass all the time in Surrey and that it is nothing at all to fret about, however he all the same had his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted so long and wondered what my missus would say to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
