It was close to 6 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's golf results, prepared for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in The Close and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi rental car by mistake. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure spot and, as it was just a few miles from the office, we could get to the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. Another job in West Sussex well done in my books!

Listed below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over West Sussex we have found progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in West Sussex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in The Close (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the normal problems that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain The Close - The Close Fuel Rescue

Last friday a man called us right after his Suzuki stopped on a street in The Close. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel motor and got so far as the street before having to pull over. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who stays locally, was with him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 3 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
