Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Surrey we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely never start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can potentially trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container at the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Surrey to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

We can easily come to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home.
