It was close to 8 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were sitting talking about the weekend's golf results, waiting for the 8th telephone call to come in. Eventually we had a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Beckley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, because it was just a short distance away from us, we could find the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in East Sussex well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout East Sussex we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly expediently.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in East Sussex for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Beckley (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will be able to handle the normal troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Beckley - Beckley Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a fantastic evening hiking during my day off and felt delighted with myself the next working day as I set off to aid a young family who were on vacation in Beckley. They broken down after filling diesel into their Vauxhall, and were approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling off her hubby for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this problem goes on quite frequently in East Sussex and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his better half. Poor guy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and thought about what my wife would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
