Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Sussex we have found more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not start the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking spot. If you did start the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying at the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in West Sussex to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Ardingly (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to handle the common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
