It was around 9 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were seated going over the recent footy, ready for the next call for the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Cranleigh and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel bright yellow Suzuki Kizashi rental car. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, as it was only a few miles away from us, we could find the woman right away.

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel.

AdBlue Contamination
What you should do in case you’ve poured AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?
AdBlue is a chemical that is made from a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with AdBlue in the fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the AdBlue is going to be injected into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.
Phone us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.
Wrong Fuel in Car in GU6 Postcode - Cranleigh Misfueling
What a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and we were off to assist an older woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel boss' Ford C-MAX Hybrid in Cranleigh. I'd been informed she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up on a country lane en route to visit her family. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel since I had just got it a week ago when my previous one, which I had for over 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely Surrey lady!
