Wrong Fuel Prinsted - Prinsted Wrong Fuel Assist

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Saturday and we were on the way to help an older lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki in Prinsted. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station and pulled up along a backwater lane on route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the work she explained, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel because I had just acquired it several days ago after my other car, which I had for about 30 years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks. What a delightful West Sussex woman!

Fuel Removal Prinsted - Prinsted Vehicle Misfuel

A couple of days ago a motorist telephoned us right after his Volkswagen died along a road in Prinsted. He had mistakenly put the incorrect fuel in his diesel motor and was only able to get as far as the street before needing to pull over. It was yet early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides locally, was with him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I truly appreciate it."

Our Services:

Here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over West Sussex we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers being unsure of how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never turn over the car - not even to shift it to a parking spot. If you have started the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will often trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases rather expediently.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in West Sussex to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Prinsted (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the normal issues that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Prinsted

Several reviews:

We did a wrong fuel retrieval exercise near a lovely house in Prinsted not so long ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and managed to almost arrive at home when my car quit." Our fuel drainer went out, regardless that it was quite late at night, and completed a full fuel drain and purge on the Nissan to everyone's satisfaction.

Petrol in Diesel Prinsted - Prinsted Wrong Fuel Assist

A driver from Prinsted with a full car of kids in her diesel Volvo had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the Sainsburys station. She contacted us sobbing and very upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and did not know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that the car would be alright and that she would be up and running very quickly. When we arrived she was still upset but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the kids on board."
