Our Areas of Experience :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In East Sussex we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can certainly result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container lying at the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in East Sussex for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Lower Horsebridge (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the standard problems that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
