It was around seven pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting talking about the recent sports results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Cowfold and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet lease car in error. She was quite affected it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we could reach the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in West Sussex done well in my opinion!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously do not start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in West Sussex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Cowfold (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car. They are also able to handle any of the common issues that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Cowfold - Cowfold Wrong Fuel in Car

A person contacted us from his place on a close in Cowfold. He explained, "My car (a Kia) is not starting and is generating very bad noises when I flip the key." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle however thought he would resolve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, did the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us that he would be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
