These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

In East Sussex we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely never crank the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If you have started the car you will probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is going to cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in East Sussex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Barcombe (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will fix the common troubles which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
