It was just before 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's sports, ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Tilgate Forest Row and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat rental car. The poor lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to get the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to get to the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. A job in West Sussex done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
Throughout West Sussex we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.
So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
Give us a call in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations very easily.
Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
Removal of Waste Fuel
Have an old fuel container lying at the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in West Sussex for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.
Out of Fuel Support
Out of fuel in Tilgate Forest Row (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.

I had a fantastic afternoon cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I headed out to aid a new couple away in Tilgate Forest Row. They had broken down after filling petrol into their Smart, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smirked as I listened to the wife chastising her spouse for being so foolish. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass on a regular basis in West Sussex and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, nonetheless he yet still got an earful. Poor lad. At any rate, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove away I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Now I am not actually excessively inclined to doing work Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just left the family after having a magnificent dinner made for us by the better half, and I was en route to deal with a man who had put the wrong petrol in his Lexus. He was only in Tilgate Forest Row so it wasn't long before I got to him. As I pulled up behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other considerations and failed to ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any problems simply by starting it?" I said there should not be any kind of harm and that also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained at once for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and then another contented client could continue on their ride without the need for bother. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make earning a living on Sundays in West Sussex just that little bit better to me!
