It was just before 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and I were relaxing commenting on the recent golf, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Ripe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and less concerned. A fuel drain in East Sussex done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout East Sussex we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people not understanding the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And obviously never switch on the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations very easily.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in East Sussex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Fuel Removal Ripe - Ripe Fuel Drain

A customer had stopped just off a street in Ripe. His Dacia motor had stopped running and he had no idea what was faulty until eventually he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got virtually no sleep the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
