Wrong Fuel in Car Southern Cross - Southern Cross Fuel Drain

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Monday and we were on my way to help an older woman who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen in Southern Cross. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and broken down in a country road on the way to visit her godchildren. I popped the location into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing it she said to me, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had only just acquired it a short while ago right after my other car, which I had used for over twenty five years, eventually broke down". I got the drain done and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely West Sussex lady!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not understanding the way to use it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may well lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty simply.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in West Sussex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Southern Cross (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill up the car. They will be able to take care of any of the typical troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.


Fuel Drain Southern Cross - Southern Cross Petrol in Diesel

I had a terrific evening hiking during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I was on the way to help a new family who were holidaying in Southern Cross. They'd pulled over after filling petrol into their Mercedes, and the car was roughly an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled as I listened to the woman telling off her partner for being so daft. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this problem goes on constantly in West Sussex and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed bon voyage and considered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would under no circumstances live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Southern Cross

Tales from our own Southern Cross mechanics:

We had a call from a guy who put the wrong fuel in his Mitsubishi in Southern Cross. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After putting petrol in my diesel car I didn't realize the dilemma until I stopped working. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and had it working . I was amazed with both your call-out time and your price". Obviously we arrived on the scene promptly and flushed the engine after draining the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival the engineer said the motorist was fuming, but was grinning his face off when we finished.

Fuel Removal Southern Cross - Southern Cross Fuel Drain

A woman working in Southern Cross contacted us after she had tried to get her wrong fuelled automobile to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel Skoda and, like countless before her, imagined that she could simply top up the car with diesel and it'd run no problem. The engine was chugging and then it died when she reached the entrance of her office. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted within one hour whilst she was at work. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely glad you fixed my car."

Petrol in Diesel Southern Cross - Southern Cross Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman had broken down just off a street in Southern Cross. His Citroen motor had ceased operating and he had no idea what was the problem until eventually he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten very little sleep the night before and that must have been precisely why.
