It was just before 6 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were relaxing there talking over the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Burgess Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was just a few miles off from our van, we could get to the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in West Sussex done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In West Sussex we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And certainly don't start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in West Sussex for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Burgess Hill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will fix any of the most common troubles that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Burgess Hill - Burgess Hill Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a terrific afternoon cycling during my holiday and was feeling contented the following day as I headed out to help a young family holidaying in Burgess Hill. They stopped after inserting petrol into their Chevrolet, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the wife telling her husband off for being so daft. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place on a regular basis in West Sussex and that it is nothing to be anxious about, however he in spite of everything had an earful. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted good bye and wondered what my wife would say to me if I made the same error... I would personally never ever live it down!
