It was before six pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not ceased raining! Dan and me were seated there commenting on the golf, prepared for the 6th call of the day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Ringmer and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche rental. She was quite affected it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to get to the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in East Sussex well done in my opinion!

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout East Sussex we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously never start the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when 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 rather quickly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank at the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in East Sussex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Ringmer (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car. They will take care of any of the typical issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Ringmer - Ringmer Vehicle Misfuel

I enjoyed a great day hiking on my off day and was feeling cheerful the following day as I headed out to aid a young family holidaying in Ringmer. They'd stopped after inserting diesel in their Land Rover, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl chastising her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass on a regular basis in East Sussex and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I waved goodbye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the same mistake... I'd never live it down!
