Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not understanding the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly never switch on the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel may well bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in West Sussex for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Mackerels Common (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the normal problems which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Mackerels Common - Mackerels Common Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman phoned us from his place on a road in Mackerels Common. He explained, "My car (a BMW) is not starting and is creating very bad noises when I flip the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then believed he would resolve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
