It was around 8 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting there talking about the football results, waiting for the seventh call to come in. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Chilsham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall hire car in error. She was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and less stressed. One more fuel drain in East Sussex done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

In East Sussex we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel may well bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances pretty easily.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank at the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in East Sussex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Chilsham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will fix any of the common problems that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

It took the specialist around fifty minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. He totally cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put fresh fuel in the car.
