It was around 5 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the rugby results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Plumpton Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi rental. The poor thing was fairly affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in East Sussex done well in my books!

Our Fields of Specialties:

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout East Sussex we are discovering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not knowing how to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you discover youself to be in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the specialised know-how and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is likely to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in East Sussex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Plumpton Green (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your car. They can also handle the common troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Plumpton Green - Plumpton Green Fuel Drain

The other day a young man phoned us just after his MINI died on a road in Plumpton Green. He had by accident put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle and was only able to get as far as the street before needing to pull over. It was yet early in the day and our engineer, who lives nearby, got to him in less than 10 minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your timely response, particularly at 2 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
