Our Areas of Experience :

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around West Sussex we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can certainly result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations rather simply.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container laying in the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in West Sussex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Shoreham-by-Sea (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the standard issues which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A man called us from Shoreham-by-Sea to say he had piped unleaded in to his diesel Mercedes. "Unbelievable! How could I put petrol in my lovely diesel car!" It only took the technician approximately 50 minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel out of the car. He meticulously purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was completely satisfied and it didn't cost him dealership rates to get the work properly done.

Recent Fuel Drains in Shoreham-by-Sea

Several examples:

We were phoned by a gentleman whose Honda had stopped on a road after a misfuel. "I got the pumps mixed up and put the wrong fuel in my car in error. You arrived and sorted out the problem right after my vehicle stopped." We drained the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the system completely and the motorist was able to continue with his deliveries.

Fuel Removal Shoreham-by-Sea - Shoreham-by-Sea Vehicle Misfuel

A lady from Shoreham-by-Sea with a full car of kids in her diesel Renault had put £45 of petrol at the Texaco service station. She phoned us crying and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and didn't know what would happen to her car . We assured her that the vehicle would be okay and that she would be up and running very quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She quickly brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the kids in the back."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Shoreham-by-Sea - Shoreham-by-Sea Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer phoned us from his house on a street in Shoreham-by-Sea. He explained, "My car (a Volvo) is not running and is producing dreadful sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said he'd be sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained right away.
