It was after six pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were resting there commenting on the tennis results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Merrow and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall hire car. The poor thing was quite affected apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could get to the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. A job in Surrey done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Surrey we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol may produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank lying in the back of your premises containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Surrey for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Merrow (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to take care of the typical problems that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
