Our driver was called to a petrol station in South Lancing when a lady wrong fuelled her Land Rover by putting petrol in her diesel car.

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over West Sussex we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases fairly easily.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container sitting in the back of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in West Sussex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in South Lancing (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They will deal with any of the most common problems that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car South Lancing - South Lancing Wrong Fuel Drain

The other day a customer contacted us right after his Jaguar ground to a halt along a street in South Lancing. He had by accident put unleaded in his diesel car and got to the road before having to halt. It was still in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who resides not far away, reached him in approximately 20 minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 5 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
