The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in West Sussex to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may well bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
