It was around 9 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there talking over the recent football rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Goatham Green and put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet hire car by mistake. She was very troubled it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things often happen. She managed to move the car into a secure space and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in East Sussex well done in my books!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In East Sussex we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases rather simply.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in East Sussex for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered 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 portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, as long as we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Goatham Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will deal with any of the usual issues which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
