It was before eight pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing talking about the footy results, at the ready for the seventh job to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Chilsham and filled petrol in a diesel MG rental by mistake. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could get to the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and a lot less anxious.

Our Areas of Specialties:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout East Sussex we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely do not turn over the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases very swiftly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in East Sussex to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Chilsham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your car. They will be able to fix the most common problems that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
