Wrong Fuel Assist Leatherhead - Leatherhead Petrol in Diesel
Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Tuesday and I was on my way to help an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Vauxhall in Leatherhead. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a country lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was working she explained, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I had just bought it a couple of days ago right after my other car, which I'd owned for in excess of 25 years, eventually died on me". I got the job done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Surrey woman!

It was before five pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated talking about the recent tennis results, waiting for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Leatherhead and filled petrol in a diesel Dacia rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at.

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.
AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Surrey we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the car.
So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
Give us a call in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will often produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations rather quickly.
Be aware that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Got a fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Surrey to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.
Re-Fueling Service
Run out of fuel in Leatherhead (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to take care of the usual problems that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

I was happy due to both how swift you were and your value for money".
