It was after eight pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting commenting on the tennis results, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Arlington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia rental by mistake. She was fairly troubled it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at.

Services We Deliver:
Below are our top services we offer to our clients.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
How to proceed if you have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue is certainly devastating to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.
In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is going to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty easily.
Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in East Sussex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Fuel Removal Arlington - Arlington Fuel Rescue
What a great night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and I was off to assist an old lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Lexus in Arlington. I had been told she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a rural road on the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had just bought it a week back because my former one, which I'd used for over 25 years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. Such a precious East Sussex woman!
