It was just before 9 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's golf, waiting for the next call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Coombes and put the wrong fuel in a diesel silver Dodge Colt hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the car into a secure spot and, as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could find the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and less anxious. One more job in West Sussex done well in my mind!

Waste Fuel Disposal
Have a fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in West Sussex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.
Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can easily result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances rather simply.
You should know though that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.
Wrong Fuel in Car in BN44 Postcode - Coombes Misfueling
A rather concerned motorist called us from the Texaco filling station at West Sussex to inform us that he put unleaded in to his diesel mom's Mercedes-Benz M-Class; he wasn't really quite certain how he'd managed to do it. We explained to him it was absolutely no hassle and soon had our engineer with him to clean the wrong fuel from his tank. Having taken out the bad fuel, he was subsequently back behind the wheel. He told us; "I am honestly surprised I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the person who came to undertake the fuel drain was very very good - he didn't make me look and feel silly."

Wrong Fuel Assist Coombes - Wrong Fuel in Car Coombes
I had appreciated a wonderful evening fishing during my holiday and was feeling pleased the following morning as I was en route to aid a new family who were on vacation in Coombes. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their uncle's Fiat Bravo, and the car was about half an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled as I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place frequently in West Sussex and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he yet still had an earful. Poor boy. In any case, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. While they drove down the road I waved good-bye and considered what my missus would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I would never live it down!
