It was close to 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the seventh call that day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Ford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota lease car by mistake. She was rather distressed it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and not so worried. Another job in West Sussex done well in my books!

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same 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. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most definitely never start up the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel may well bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances very swiftly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in West Sussex for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel Ford - Ford Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a great evening cycling on my off day and felt cheerful the next morning as I was on the way to help a new family who were holidaying in Ford. They pulled over after inserting petrol in their Hyundai, and they were about an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and laughed while I heard to the wife telling off her partner for being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass on daily basis in West Sussex and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he still got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved farewell and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!
