It was before eight pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Brian and me were seated talking over the recent golf results, ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in West Chiltington and put petrol in her diesel Mazda hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very distressed apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in West Sussex well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Sussex we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And obviously do not switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container in the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in West Sussex for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in West Chiltington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the usual troubles which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
