It was about 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting commenting on the recent rugby results, prepared for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Colworth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford lease car. The poor thing was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from our van, we could find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in West Sussex well done in my opinion!

Offered Services: Our Specialties:
These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:
AdBlue Contamination
How to handle it in the event that you have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? It can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in your tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be pulled into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.
If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol may trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite simply.
Take note however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be totally wet and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Petrol in Diesel Colworth - Colworth Vehicle Misfuel
This was certainly what we call the graveyard shift. It was around 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It was quite uneventful so far, and Ryan and I were relaxing looking through a couple of old articles. It was a rare quiet moment in West Sussex. Actually it was so relaxing that the instant the phone rang it made me jump! The motorist explained: "I ended my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in the MG in error". I told him to inform us where the car was and we set off, reaching him in Colworth only 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming so fast. As we were heading back home we spotted two women at the edge of the highway who looked like they had a puncture. Obviously we stopped to change it, to their delight.
