Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Steyning

If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Steyning (petrol in diesel Steyning) we are the professionals you need to phone. We operate throughout the entirety of the Steyning vicinity and all adjoining towns.

It was just after 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated there going over the recent footy, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Steyning and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very troubled it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to find the woman quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. One more job in West Sussex well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it if you?ve poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? It is definitely disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be squirted into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Contact us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations quite expediently.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container laying in the back of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in West Sussex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Steyning (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to handle any of the common troubles which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
