It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the 6th job for the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Nutbourne Common and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault lease car in error. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe area and, as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in West Sussex well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over West Sussex we are encountering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people not understanding how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly don't turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can certainly result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in West Sussex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Nutbourne Common (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your car or truck. They can also take care of the typical troubles that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Nutbourne Common - Nutbourne Common Vehicle Misfuel

I had a wonderful day cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I set out to help a new couple vacationing in Nutbourne Common. They'd pulled over after filling diesel in their Hyundai, and were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling off her hubby for being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place on daily basis in West Sussex and that it is nothing at all to fret about, and yet he still had an earful by his wife. I felt sorry for the boy. In any case, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted goodbye and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
