It was just before 8 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated discussing the weekend's golf results, at the ready for the 8th call that day to come in. In due time we got a call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Buckland and put petrol in a diesel MG hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and much less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Surrey done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Surrey we are discovering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people not knowing how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely do not start the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank may well cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances rather expediently.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Surrey for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Buckland (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the usual problems that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Buckland - Buckland Fuel Removal

Last week a man telephoned us soon after his Kia died along a street in Buckland. He had accidentally put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and was only able to get so far as the street before being forced to pull up. It was still in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who resides locally, reached him in about a quarter hour. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, particularly at 1 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
