It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting talking about the football results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Rowledge and filled petrol in her diesel Suzuki rental in error. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. One more job in Surrey done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Surrey we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the practical know-how and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is going to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases pretty quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank at the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Surrey to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Rowledge (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the typical problems which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Rowledge - Rowledge Wrong Fuel Assist

I appreciated a perfect afternoon hiking on my holiday and was feeling pleased the following morning as I set off to assist a new couple on holiday in Rowledge. They'd pulled over after inserting diesel into their Suzuki, and they were close to half an hour away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the woman telling off her hubby for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs continuously in Surrey and that it's nothing to get worried about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful. Poor chap. At any rate, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I would never ever hear the end of it!
