It was just after 8 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were resting there discussing the weekend's footy results, ready for the 6th call to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Sidlesham Common and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat hire car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the motel she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and much less stressed. A job in West Sussex done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around West Sussex we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can certainly trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations rather easily.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in West Sussex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Sidlesham Common (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your automobile. They will deal with any of the most common problems which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sidlesham Common - Sidlesham Common Fuel Rescue

A motorist had stopped off a road in Sidlesham Common. His Fiat engine had stopped operating and he had no idea what was faulty till he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
