Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around West Sussex we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course never start the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations pretty quickly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in West Sussex for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.

Petrol in Diesel Ardingly - Ardingly Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a perfect day golfing on the weekend and felt contented with myself the next day as I was on the way to help a young couple vacationing in Ardingly. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their Renault, and were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their location and smiled while I listened to the wife chastising her man for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this happens everyday in West Sussex and that it's really nothing at all to be concerned about, nevertheless he yet still got an earful. Unlucky chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I made the exact same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
