It was about ten pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting going over the tennis results, prepared for the next job of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Billingshurst and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot lease car by mistake. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in West Sussex well done in my mind!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In West Sussex we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. In case you have started the car you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may well produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations fairly simply.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying in the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in West Sussex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered 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 an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Billingshurst (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and refill your car or truck. They will fix any of the usual problems that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Billingshurst - Billingshurst Fuel Drain

A customer rang us from his residence on a close in Billingshurst. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Nissan) is not starting and is creating dreadful sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then imagined he would remedy the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
