It was just after 7 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were resting there commenting on the football rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Chichester and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki rental in error. She was rather irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was just a short distance from where we were, we could reach the customer right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and much less worried. A job in West Sussex done well in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in case you have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? It is actually disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will be injected into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly don't start the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you have started the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in West Sussex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages.
