Listed here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over West Sussex we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations very quickly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
