It was before ten pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated talking about the recent sports, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Woodmancote and put petrol in her diesel SEAT hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes from our van, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and much less worried. Another fuel drain in West Sussex done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously don't switch on the engine - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel is likely to lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases rather swiftly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in West Sussex to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run out of fuel in Woodmancote (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.

They are also able to handle the typical troubles which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
