It was just after eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were seated there commenting on the golf results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Folkington and put petrol in a diesel Suzuki lease car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat affected apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from us, we could reach the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in East Sussex done well in my books!

Offered Services:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it if you may have put Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical composed of a mix of deionized water and urea (32.5%).It is definitely devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, triggering serious and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And obviously never switch on the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will often result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations rather easily.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank placed in the back of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in East Sussex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Folkington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill the car. They will take care of the usual problems that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Folkington

Very common wrong fuel drain articles in Folkington:

We a few weeks ago had a phone call about a driver who put the incorrect fuel in his SEAT in Folkington. He had come to a stand-still on the road. "After inserting petrol in my diesel car I didn't recognise the quandary before I conked out. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and got it running again. I was happy because of both how fast you were and your rates". It goes without saying that we were on-scene rapidly and flushed the engine after draining all the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. The client was smiling again by the time we finished and he went off cheerful.

Fuel Removal Folkington - Folkington Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer from Folkington with a full car of kids in her diesel Mazda had put £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that everything should be ok and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we got there she was still upset but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the children on board."
