It was before seven pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting talking over the footy, prepared for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in South Godstone and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was very troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was just a short distance from the office, we could find the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Surrey done well in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Surrey we have encountered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And definitely don't start the car - not even to move it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Surrey to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in South Godstone (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill the car. They can also take care of any of the usual issues which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain South Godstone - South Godstone Petrol in Diesel

A person called us from his residence on a street in South Godstone. He exclaimed, "My car (a BMW) is not starting up and is making very bad noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel car however reckoned he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
