It was just after 7 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated talking over the rugby results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Ardingly and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai hire car in error. The poor lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things do happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to reach the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A job in West Sussex done well in my books!

Services We Give:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout West Sussex we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people being unsure of how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Any time you get in this situation don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the technical competence and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases rather expediently.

Be aware however 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 fitted seeing that the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying in the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in West Sussex to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Ardingly (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the typical problems which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
