It was about 8 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the recent golf rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Walton-on-Thames and put petrol in her diesel Renault hire car. She was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure area and, because it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Surrey well done in my mind!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Surrey we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not understanding the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will likely lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations pretty swiftly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Surrey to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Walton-on-Thames (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to fix the common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Walton-on-Thames - Walton-on-Thames Wrong Fuel in Car

A guy had stopped just near a road in Walton-on-Thames. His Toyota engine had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was faulty till he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't know that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got very little rest the evening before and that could have been the reason why.
