Services Our Company Offers:

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying 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 more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in West Sussex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Fuel Drain East Harting - East Harting Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a perfect evening cycling during my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next day as I was on the way to assist a new family who were on vacation in East Harting. They'd pulled over after adding diesel in their Land Rover, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the lady telling her man off for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this situation comes to pass quite frequently in West Sussex and that it's actually absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he still had an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky lad. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and considered what my missus would say to me if I made the same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
