It was after seven pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not ceased raining! Dan and I were resting discussing the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the 6th call to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Fisherstreet and put petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental in error. She was fairly distressed apparently, stating "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things can happen. She was able to move the car to a secure space and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we could get to her without delay.

Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In West Sussex we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not understanding the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely never start the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol may result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in West Sussex to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Fisherstreet (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They can also handle any of the common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Fisherstreet - Fisherstreet Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a terrific day golfing on my holiday and felt cheerful the next day as I set out to help a new family who were holidaying in Fisherstreet. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their MG, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed while I listened to the wife telling her partner off for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass frequently in West Sussex and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he all the same got his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted farewell and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
