It was after eight pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting talking over the tennis results, ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Nutley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki hire car by mistake. The poor thing was quite distressed it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could reach the lady right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In East Sussex we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank is likely to cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations pretty expediently.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in East Sussex to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Nutley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the most common issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Nutley - Nutley Vehicle Misfuel

A person contacted us from his home on a road in Nutley. He exclaimed, "My car (a BMW) is not running and is producing very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would remedy the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us he'd be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
