It was just after six pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated there going over the recent footy results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Send Grove and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes rental in error. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!"

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Surrey we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And definitely be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank may bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations fairly quickly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Surrey to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Send Grove (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill the car. They will handle the usual troubles that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your timely response, especially at 2 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
