It was just before 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the rugby results, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Rapkyns and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat lease car. The poor thing was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected space and, since it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and less anxious. One more fuel drain in West Sussex well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In West Sussex we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you get in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have the technical skills and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will often lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in West Sussex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Rapkyns (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the usual troubles that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
