Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over West Sussex we are discovering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out right away. And certainly never turn over the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic 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 allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Run out of fuel in Duncton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.

They will take care of any of the usual problems that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
