Listed below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In East Sussex we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And definitely do not start the engine - not even to move it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations quite expediently.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to several 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 remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Wrong Fuel in Car Saltdean - Saltdean Fuel Removal

I'd had a fantastic afternoon hiking during the weekend and felt delighted the next morning as I set out to assist a young family who were on holiday in Saltdean. They'd stopped after inserting diesel in their Toyota, and they were close to an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I heard to the gal telling her partner off for being so silly. "How could you possibly be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this problem comes to pass quite frequently in East Sussex and that it's nothing to worry about, nonetheless he all the same had his ear bent by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyway, I drained out all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and wondered what my wife would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
