It was after ten pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing commenting on the sports, waiting for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Chichester and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia lease car. The poor lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, since it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could get to the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and not so apprehensive. Another job in West Sussex well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not being aware of how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely never crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you have started the car you would probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases pretty quickly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Have an old fuel container at the back of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in West Sussex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

We're able to get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home.
