Wrong Fuel in Car West Hoathly, West Sussex

Our Services:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over West Sussex we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And of course never start up the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can certainly trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases fairly swiftly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in West Sussex to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in West Hoathly (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will fix any of the normal issues which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel West Hoathly - West Hoathly Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a terrific evening fishing on my off day and was feeling delighted the following day as I set out to assist a young couple who were on vacation in West Hoathly. They'd conked out after adding petrol into their Porsche, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman chastising her hubby for actually being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this situation goes on all the time in West Sussex and that it's in reality nothing at all to get worried about, however he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Poor lad. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted goodbye and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would never hear the end of it!

Customary wrong fuel drain reviews in West Hoathly:

I am not too interested in doing the job weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd only just come away from home after a magnificent Sunday roast made for us by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a fellow because he filled the wrong petrol in his BMW. He was situated in West Hoathly so it wasn't long before I arrived with him. As I pulled up right behind the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I had my attention on other things and failed to ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused damage because of driving it?" I explained that truth be told there probably should not be problems and that also I would get the wrong fuel drained immediately. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and one more pleased motorist was able to continue on their trip without any difficulty. The man did not stop thanking me, and this is what helps make operating on Sundays in West Sussex just that tiny bit easier for me!
