Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Sussex we have identified an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely never start up the motor - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in West Sussex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Duncton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to fix the normal troubles that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
