Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Lower Kingswood

It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were resting going over the weekend's sports results, waiting for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Before long we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Lower Kingswood and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart hire car by mistake. She was quite affected apparently, saying "I still can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could reach the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Surrey done well in my books!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do if you?ve put Adblue in a Diesel tank? Adblue can be disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be injected into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

Phone us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is going to cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Surrey for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Lower Kingswood (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill the car. They will fix any of the common problems that can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Lower Kingswood - Lower Kingswood Vehicle Misfuel

Last week a gentleman contacted us because his Skoda stopped in the middle of a street in Lower Kingswood. He had unintentionally put unleaded in his diesel vehicle and got to the street before being forced to give up. It was still early in the day and our engineer, who stays locally, got to him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I really appreciate it."
