These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Sussex we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not understanding how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And certainly never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel is likely to contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in West Sussex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Whitemans Green (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the normal issues which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
