It was after seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were relaxing talking over the recent football results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Southbourne and put petrol in a diesel Renault rental car in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in West Sussex done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel
All around West Sussex we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.
Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.
If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will likely lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.
Take note though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in West Sussex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

We will get out to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home.

Vehicle Misfuel Southbourne - Southbourne Fuel Rescue
Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a warm Saturday and I was on my way to help an old sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes in Southbourne. I'd been told she had left the filling station and stranded in a backwater lane on the way to visit her godchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd only acquired it a week back right after my old one, which I'd used for over 30 years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a delightful West Sussex lady!
