It was around 9 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and me were seated there talking about the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Before long we had a call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Merston and filled petrol in a diesel Porsche lease car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe spot and, because it was just a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in West Sussex done well in my books!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

In West Sussex we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting in the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in West Sussex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Merston (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to handle any of the standard problems which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Merston - Merston Wrong Fuel

Last week a man called us after his Mitsubishi cut out on a street in Merston. He had mistakenly put unleaded in his diesel motor and was only able to drive to the street before having to stop. It was early in the day and our fuel drainer, who resides close by, reached him in less than 10 minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
