Wrong Fuel in Car Findon, West Sussex

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around West Sussex we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not being aware of how to work with it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely don't crank the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases very simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in West Sussex to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Findon (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up the car. They will be able to take care of the standard troubles that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
