Our Fields of Specialties:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over West Sussex we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers being unsure of how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel is likely to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations pretty simply.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in West Sussex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, providing we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

We are able to get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the usual issues that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
