Wrong Fuel Drain Sompting - Sompting Wrong Fuel Drain
What a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and I was off to help an elder lovely lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen in Sompting. I'd been informed she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a backwater lane along the way to see her family. I got the location punched into the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing the drain she said, "I have been getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel since I'd only purchased it a short while ago because my former one, which I had for over twenty years, finally died". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a delightful West Sussex woman!

It was around eight pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, ready for the next call that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Sompting and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche rental car. She was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the car to a safe area and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we could get to the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and less worried. Another misfuel correction in West Sussex well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel
In West Sussex we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people being unsure of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.
So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.
In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will likely produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances rather quickly.
Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in West Sussex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.
