It was just after 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's sports, prepared for the 6th call that day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in West Thorney and filled petrol in her diesel Skoda lease car by mistake. The poor lady was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things often happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure position and, since it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to arrive at her right away. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in West Sussex well done in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Sussex we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people being unsure of how to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course never turn over the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can easily result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
