She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and broken down on a backwater lane along the way to see her godchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I reached the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel because I had just bought it a week ago when my former one, which I had owned for in excess of 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful West Sussex lady!

Our Areas of Experience :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout West Sussex we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not understanding the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And of course be careful not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel is going to contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases very expediently.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container at the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in West Sussex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Petworth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will be able to deal with the typical problems that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.


Petrol in Diesel Petworth - Petworth Fuel Rescue

A man called us from his residence on a street in Petworth. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Mazda) is not starting and is making dreadful noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then believed he would fix the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.

Common incorrect fuel drain stories in Petworth:

We completed a wrong fuel removal job near a beautiful residence in Petworth a few weeks ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to virtually get home when my car cut out." Our fuel drainer went out, regardless that it was rather late at night, and carried out a full fuel drain and cleanse on the Mazda to everyone's satisfaction.

Vehicle Misfuel Petworth - Petworth Fuel Drain

This was certainly an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly 3am and noone was about. It was fairly quiet so far, and Paul and I were sitting about looking at a couple of old articles. This was an uncommon calm time in West Sussex. It was in fact that quiet that the instant the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The customer on the other end stated: "I have finished my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the Dacia in error". I asked him to tell us just where he was and we hit the road, ending up in Petworth less than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He said thanks for coming out so quickly. While we were going back to the office we noticed two ladies at the side of the road who seemed to have a flat. Obviously we stopped to change it, to their elation.

Wrong Fuel Assist Petworth - Petworth Fuel Removal

A motorist had broken down near a road in Petworth. His MINI car had ceased working and he'd no idea what was the problem till he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got virtually no rest the night before and that must have been the reason why.
