It was after 10 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased raining! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the recent football rankings, waiting for the sixth call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Willingdon and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet rental car by mistake. The poor thing was rather affected apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure space and, because it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in East Sussex done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around East Sussex we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely take care not to switch on the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container at the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in East Sussex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Willingdon (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the typical issues that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
