It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were seated there talking over the rugby results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Ancton and put petrol in a diesel creamy white Vauxhall Insignia lease car by mistake. She was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and a lot less anxious. A job in West Sussex done well in my mind!

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Sussex we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not understanding the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely never start the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

What a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Sunday and we were off to assist an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel clean white Cadillac STS in Ancton. I had been informed she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a rural lane en route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I got to the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I have been becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a week ago after my old car, which I used for about thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful West Sussex woman!

I'd had a terrific afternoon golfing on the weekend and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a new couple on vacation in Ancton. They'd conked out after inserting diesel into their customised Volvo, and the car was close to an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl chastising her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass all the time in West Sussex and that it's nothing to get worried about, however he still got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed so long and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
