It was about five pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry day, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the tennis, at the ready for the seventh call to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in South Lancing and put petrol in her diesel Mazda lease car. She was very troubled apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the hotel she was residing at.

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed if you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? It tends to be harmful to your car's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be squirted into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you may likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in West Sussex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.
