Our Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All over East Sussex we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never turn over the car - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances rather easily.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in East Sussex for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Saltdean (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill the car. They can also handle any of the usual issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Saltdean - Saltdean Fuel Drain

The other day a young man telephoned us when his Vauxhall stopped in the middle of a street in Saltdean. He had accidentally put unleaded in his diesel vehicle and got as far as the street before needing to pull over. It was actually early in the day and our technician, who lives close by, got to him in less than 10 minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in to the car. "Many kudos to you for your immediate response, especially at 3 a.m., I am grateful for it."
