It was around 9 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there talking over the sports, prepared for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Compton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda lease car by mistake. She was very agitated it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe area and, because it was only a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and a lot less worried. Another job in West Sussex well done in my books!

Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in West Sussex for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Compton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will handle any of the normal issues which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Compton - Compton Petrol in Diesel

The other day a young man telephoned us because his Ford stopped working in the middle of a road in Compton.

It was in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who stays not far away, was with him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the car. "Many kudos to you for your timely response, and in particular at 3 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
