We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Sussex we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations pretty easily.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in West Sussex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Southbourne (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the common problems which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
