It was close to 7 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Dan and I were relaxing going over the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Hill Top and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in West Sussex well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations rather expediently.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in West Sussex to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Hill Top (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the usual problems which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Hill Top - Hill Top Fuel Rescue

A gentleman had conked out just near a road in Hill Top. His Volkswagen car had ceased running and he had no idea what was wrong until eventually he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got very little sleep the evening before and that could have been precisely why.
