Wrong Fuel South Bersted - South Bersted Wrong Fuel Drain
What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Sunday and we were off to assist an older lady who put petrol in her diesel Renault in South Bersted. I had been informed she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a backwater road en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I am becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I had only just bought it a week back when my former one, which I had had for in excess of 30 years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job done and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious West Sussex woman!

Services We Provide:
Below are the top services we provide to our clients.
AdBlue Contamination
In West Sussex we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.
So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.
If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly never switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases quite quickly.
You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
Waste Fuel Management
Got an old fuel tank lying at the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in West Sussex for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.
Run Out of Fuel Support
Run out of fuel in South Bersted (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the typical troubles which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue South Bersted - South Bersted Fuel Drain
A young lady from South Bersted with her little ones in her diesel Mitsubishi had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Sainsburys station. She called us sobbing and extremely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what could happen to her car in doing so. We told her that all should be alright and that she would be back on the road soon. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the youngsters in the back."
