It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting commenting on the golf rankings, ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Langley Vale and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel sunflower yellow Volkswagen Scirocco lease car in error. She was very distressed apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected space and, as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could reach her without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was living in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off contented and much less anxious. Another fuel drain in Surrey done well in my opinion!

Waste Fuel Disposal
Got a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Surrey to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.
No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases fairly swiftly.
Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Langley Vale
I am certainly not so excited about working on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had only just departed the family after eating a tasty lunch made for us by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a man who filled the wrong fuel in his cobalt blue Volvo V70. He was somewhere in Langley Vale so it wasn't long before I got to him. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on other stuff and did not grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused any kind of damage simply by running it?" I determined that truth be told there shouldn't be damage and that also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained immediately. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and so another contented client was able to continue his ride without the bother. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Surrey just that little bit better in my opinion!

- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
