Our Areas of Competence :

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Surrey we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously don't switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations rather quickly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Surrey to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Reigate (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your car. They will be able to handle the normal troubles which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Reigate - Reigate Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer called us from his place on a close in Reigate. He said, "My vehicle (a Lexus) is not running and is making terrible sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would remedy the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.

Recent Fuel Drains in Reigate

Several examples:

A young adult who had only recently got his licence had wrong fuelled his Audi by putting petrol in his diesel car at the station close to Reigate. He said, "This is the third time I have filled up my vehicle from the time when I paid for it and I have no clue of how to handle it." He was afraid since his father had just recently bought him the car. He discovered our company on the web and so called us immediately, afraid about what he needed to do. Our individual on the call informed him that we could be there within 45 minutes and to not move the car while he waited. We did the fuel drain on his vehicle and he said how amazed he was that it was addressed so swiftly and without complication whatsoever.

Wrong Fuel in Car Reigate - Reigate Fuel Drain

A man contacted us from his Volvo where he had broken down on the hectic street. "I foolishly put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and I soon realised it a few miles down the road!" Fortunately we were able to have an engineer out to him in a fairly quick time, bearing in mind the congestion, and he was before long back on his way.

Fuel Rescue Reigate - Reigate Fuel Drain

I'd had a wonderful day golfing during my holiday and felt contented with myself the next day as I set out to help a young couple on holiday in Reigate. They pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their Porsche, and the car was around an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the wife telling her husband off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing happens quite frequently in Surrey and that it is nothing at all to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
