This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Surrey we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists being unsure of how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And of course do not switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank may well trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Surrey to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Walton-on-Thames (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the typical troubles that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Walton-on-Thames - Walton-on-Thames Wrong Fuel

I'd had a wonderful day cycling during my afternoon off and felt delighted the following day as I set out to aid a young couple on holiday in Walton-on-Thames. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their Honda, and the car was about half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Just how could you actually manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this occurs regularly in Surrey and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his better half. Poor chap. Anyway, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove away I shouted good bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would never ever live it down!
