Our Areas of Competency :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around East Sussex we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not being totally sure how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is likely to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite quickly.

You should know that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in East Sussex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Grisling Common (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the usual issues which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
