It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were sitting commenting on the golf results, at the ready for the 6th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in West End and filled petrol in a diesel Kia hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. A job in West Sussex done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout West Sussex we have found more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not understanding how to work with it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel is likely to trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations quite easily.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in West Sussex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in West End (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car. They can also fix any of the usual troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain West End - West End Wrong Fuel Doctor

A couple of days ago a driver called us soon after his Porsche cut out in the middle of a road in West End. He had inadvertently put unleaded in his diesel vehicle and was only able to drive so far as the road before needing to stop. It was actually early in the day and our engineer, who lives nearby, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back into the car. "Thank you for your timely response, especially at 2 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
