It was after ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing there talking about the sports, at the ready for the seventh job to come in. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Rookery Hill and put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and not so anxious.

Our Fields of Specialties:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout East Sussex we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the car you would most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel may bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in East Sussex to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Rookery Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will deal with any of the standard issues that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
