It was before 9 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were sitting there commenting on the football rankings, waiting for the 6th call to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Upper Hartfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty affected by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could get to the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and less anxious. A fuel drain in East Sussex done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout East Sussex we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel may well bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases rather expediently.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container laying at the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in East Sussex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Upper Hartfield (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your automobile. They are also able to handle the typical problems which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Upper Hartfield - Upper Hartfield Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman had broken down off a road in Upper Hartfield. His Mitsubishi engine had ceased working and he'd no clue what was faulty right up until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got very little rest the evening before and that must have been the reason why.
