It was close to six pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting talking over the sports results, waiting around for the next call that day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Bewbush and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the car to a safe position and, as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could find the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and less worried. Another job in West Sussex done well in my opinion!

Provided Services:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in case you have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? It is certainly harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely don't start up the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed in the back of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in West Sussex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Bewbush (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill the car. They will be able to fix any of the standard troubles which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Bewbush - Bewbush Petrol in Diesel

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon hiking on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I set off to assist a young family who were holidaying in Bewbush. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their Skoda, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman telling her man off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this problem takes place on a regular basis in West Sussex and that it's truly nothing at all to worry about, but he still had an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove off I shouted good-bye and thought about what her indoors would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
