Wrong Fuel in Car Horns Cross, East Sussex

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Provide:

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In East Sussex we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And definitely don't start the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances rather simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel.

Fuel Rescue Horns Cross - Horns Cross Fuel Rescue

I had a terrific evening cycling on my afternoon off and felt delighted with myself the following day as I set off to aid a young family on holiday in Horns Cross. They stopped after inserting diesel in their Honda, and were around half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the wife telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this situation comes to pass constantly in East Sussex and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he all the same got an earful by his missus. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed so long and thought about what my wife would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

Fuel Rescue Horns Cross - Horns Cross Fuel Drain

A young lady from Horns Cross with a full car of little ones in her diesel Suzuki had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She called us weeping and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that all would be alright and that she would be back on the road soon. When we got there she was still distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined.
