It was before 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there talking over the football results, prepared for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Nyewood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel deep grey Mazda B2500 rental. The poor thing was very irritated apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. Another fuel drain in West Sussex well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.
