It was before 9 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent footy, waiting for the sixth call that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in East Lavington and put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet hire car. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the customer right away.

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

In West Sussex we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly take care not to turn over the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in West Sussex for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Out of fuel in East Lavington (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.
