It was after ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! Mark and me were seated talking over the recent football, prepared for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Barnham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda hire car in error. She was fairly affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe position and, because it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home calm and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in West Sussex done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Sussex we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases pretty expediently.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container placed in the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in West Sussex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Barnham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and refill your car. They will be able to handle the standard problems that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
