It was after 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there discussing the recent football rankings, waiting for the sixth call to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Kingston by Sea and put the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT rental by mistake. She was rather distressed it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from the office, we could get to her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in West Sussex well done in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over West Sussex we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you end up in this scenario don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the practical know-how and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases fairly expediently.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in West Sussex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Kingston by Sea (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will deal with the typical troubles that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
