Our Areas of Expertise:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around East Sussex we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank may cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases rather simply.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in East Sussex to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Barcombe (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the normal troubles that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Barcombe - Barcombe Fuel Removal

Yesterday a young man telephoned us soon after his Peugeot died in the middle of a road in Barcombe. He had accidentally put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and got as far as the road before being forced to give up. It was yet early in the morning and our engineer, who resides not far away, got to him in approximately a quarter hour. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 5 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
