It was just before 5 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were resting commenting on the weekend's sports results, prepared for the sixth call for the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Broomsgrove and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental by mistake. She was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over East Sussex we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely do not start up the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is likely to result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances very easily.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in East Sussex to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Broomsgrove (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the usual problems which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Broomsgrove - Broomsgrove Wrong Fuel

A gentleman had stopped off a street in Broomsgrove. His Suzuki car had stopped working and he'd no idea what was wrong right up until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got zero sleep the evening before and that must have been the reason why.
