Services We Offer:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout West Sussex we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it asap. And certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In case you did start the car you would likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations rather quickly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in West Sussex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Keymer (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your car. They can also handle the normal problems that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Keymer - Keymer Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out off a street in Keymer. His Skoda car had ceased working and he'd no idea what was faulty right up until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car.

He claimed that he had gotten very little sleep the day before and that could have been the key reason why.
