It was just after 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting there talking over the weekend's tennis, ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Copsale and filled petrol in her diesel Volvo lease car. She was quite irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected area and, since it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could reach the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and not so concerned. Another job in West Sussex well done in my mind!

Our Fields of Specialties:

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any connected issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All over West Sussex we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely never start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel may well result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in West Sussex to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Copsale (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to take care of the normal issues that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Copsale - Copsale Fuel Rescue

A customer had broken down off a street in Copsale. His Audi motor had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was faulty until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't comprehend that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero rest the day before and that must have been the reason.
