It was about five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the sports rankings, waiting for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Hunston and put petrol in her diesel Peugeot hire car in error. She was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to move the car to a protected position and, since it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could reach the lady right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and not so stressed.

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Sussex we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases quite expediently.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in West Sussex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.
