It was close to 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Dorking and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda rental. She was rather affected it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things can happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected space and, because it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at.

Our Areas of Experience :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Surrey we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not knowing how to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely do not crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important issue to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases very quickly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the back of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Surrey for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Dorking (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to handle the normal troubles that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Dorking - Dorking Fuel Rescue

A customer contacted us from his place on a street in Dorking. He said, "My car (a Citroen) is not running and is creating dreadful sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would remedy the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to inform people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
