Out of fuel in Reigate (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your car. They will take care of the usual issues which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
