It was about 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing discussing the football results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in West Horsley and filled petrol in a diesel Land Rover rental car in error. She was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could find the woman without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and much less apprehensive. Yet another job in Surrey well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
Throughout Surrey we have discovered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.
Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.
Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly don't switch on the car - not even to move it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances fairly easily.
You should know however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
Waste Fuel Management
Have an old fuel tank at the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Surrey to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can empty it for you.
Out of Fuel Assistance
Run out of fuel in West Horsley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your car. They will deal with the usual problems that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.
Wrong Fuel in Car West Horsley - West Horsley Wrong Fuel
I'd had a perfect evening cycling on my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I set off to assist a new couple holidaying in West Horsley. They had conked out after inserting petrol into their Honda, and were roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I listened to the lady telling her man off for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass on a regular basis in Surrey and that it's truly nothing to fret about, but he still got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and thought about what my missus would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in West Horsley
Some of the common stories we come across from our technicians in West Horsley:
We recently had a phone call about a motorist who had put the wrong fuel in his Mercedes in West Horsley. He had come to a stand-still on the road. "After inserting petrol in my diesel car I didn't realize the issue up until we ground to a halt. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning again. I was happy as a result of both your call-out time and your price". Needless to say we appeared rapidly and purged the engine after flushing all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. The driver was smiling again by the time we were done and he drove away satisfied.
