Wrong Fuel Drain Copthorne - Copthorne Wrong Fuel

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and we were en route to help an elder lovely lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia in Copthorne. I'd been informed she had left the filling station and pulled up along a rural road on route to visit her grandchildren. I punched the location into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd just purchased it a couple of days back after my old one, which I owned for over twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a lovely West Sussex lady!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around West Sussex we have found a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not knowing how to to make use of (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol may well cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in West Sussex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

We are able to come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.

Recent Fuel Drains in Copthorne

Several of the more standard details we have heard from our engineers in Copthorne:

I'm not actually that inclined to working on weekends, and a week ago was no different. I'd just left the family after a magnificent roast made for us by the missus, and I was on the way to help a gentleman because he put the wrong fuel in his Audi. He was stationed in Copthorne hence it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and got out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I had my attention on something else and didn't grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I caused some harm through driving it?" I said that there should not be problems and also I'd drain the wrong fuel at once for him. Obviously I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and then one more satisfied client had the ability to continue their ride without the bother. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is what helps make carrying out work on weekends in West Sussex just that little bit better for me personally!
