We're merely a telephone call away.

It was just before five pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing going over the recent footy, waiting for the seventh job that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Wyke and filled petrol in her diesel Nissan rental car. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I have ruined the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and not so worried. A fuel drain in Surrey done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Surrey we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And most certainly don't start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Surrey to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Wyke (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will fix the normal problems that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Wyke - Wyke Wrong Fuel

A couple weeks ago a gentleman called us because his Volkswagen died on a street in Wyke. He had unintentionally put petrol in the diesel motor and drove as far as the street before being forced to give up. It was still in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who lives nearby, got to him in about ten minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, particularly at 6 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
