It was close to five pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and I were sitting there talking over the tennis results, waiting around for the seventh call to come in. In due time we got a call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Rye and filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall hire car. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and not so anxious. Another job in East Sussex done well in my opinion!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over East Sussex we have discovered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And definitely take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in East Sussex for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel Rye - Rye Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a terrific day cycling on my afternoon off and felt satisfied with myself the next morning as I was en route to aid a young family holidaying in Rye. They had pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel in their MINI, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed as I heard to the girl telling off her partner for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing goes on on a regular basis in East Sussex and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved so long and considered what my wife would ask me if I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never live it down!
