It was around 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting talking over the sports, waiting for the 8th call to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Horam and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda rental car in error. She was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, because it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could find the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and a lot less worried. Another job in East Sussex done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

In East Sussex we are discovering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously take care not to start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container at the back of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business 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 remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Horam (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill the car. They will handle any of the typical problems that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Horam - Horam Petrol in Diesel

A while back a youngster called us soon after his Peugeot ground to a halt along a street in Horam. He had accidentally put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and drove so far as the street before having to pull over. It was early in the morning and our technical engineer, who resides not far away, arrived with him in less than 15 minutes. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the car. "Genuine thanks to you for your immediate response, particularly at 3 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
