We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in West Sussex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout West Sussex we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly take care not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in RH14 Postcode - Staples Hill Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Saturday and I was off to help an elder lovely lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel new-shape Volvo240 in Staples Hill. I'd been advised she had left the filling station and pulled up along a rural lane en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I am becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only bought it a couple of days ago when my other car, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty years, finally stopped working". I completed the job and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant West Sussex woman!

We are thoroughly licenced and insured and so you recognise your vehicle is in dependable hands. We have the ability to fix any car designs without regard to whether they have been driven on the wrong fuel or just misfueled.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
