Petrol in Diesel Crawley - Crawley Petrol in Diesel

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to assist an elder woman who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Jaguar in Crawley. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded in a country road on the way to see her family. I punched her location in the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had just purchased it several days back after my old car, which I owned for more than thirty years, inevitably died". I got the drain completed and she presented me a toffee and said thank you. Such a precious West Sussex woman!

And so, if you've filled your petrol automobile with the wrong fuel, or the wrong fuel in your diesel car somewhere in West Sussex, call us right now. Our experienced technicians are ready and waiting for your call.

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In West Sussex we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances very easily.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in West Sussex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Crawley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill up the car. They are also able to deal with any of the common problems that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.


Vehicle Misfuel Crawley - Crawley Wrong Fuel Assist

Last week a man phoned us right after his SEAT broke down along a road in Crawley. He had mistakenly put the wrong fuel in the diesel motor and drove as far as the street before having to pull over. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who resides not far away, arrived with him in approximately ten minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 5 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."

Listed below are opinions and good examples of wrong fuel removal completed in Crawley:

Now I am not ever very excited about running Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd just departed the family after a fantastic lunch made for me by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a gentleman who put the wrong fuel in his Mazda. He was stationed in Crawley so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I arrived at the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on other things and didn't realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted some harm by starting it?" I revealed truth be told there shouldn't be any problems and also that I'd remove the wrong fuel as quickly as possible. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and then one more pleased motorist was able to carry on with his journey without hassle. The man could hardly stop thanking me, and that is what tends to make earning a living on weekends in West Sussex a little bit less painful to me!

Fuel Removal Crawley - Crawley Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman who had sadly put petrol in his diesel Nissan called us for a fuel drain at the petrol station in Crawley. He had decided to fill up before continuing on to the local caravan park . "I put unleaded as opposed to diesel which unfortunately wasn't a great way to start to our vacation." It was certainly no hassle in any way for our fuel drainer to go along and carry out the fuel drain. We hope they enjoyed their holiday break.

Wrong Fuel Crawley - Crawley Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman called us from Crawley saying he had pumped petrol in his diesel Volkswagen. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer about 50 minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He meticulously purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it didn't cost him dealer prices to get the task professionally performed.
