It was close to five pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated there going over the tennis, waiting for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Mayfield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford hire car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe space and, as it was only a few miles from our van, we could get to her quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another job in East Sussex well done in my books!

Services We Deliver:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over East Sussex we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not being totally sure the way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And most certainly be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will likely produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in East Sussex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Vehicle Misfuel Mayfield - Mayfield Fuel Drain

I'd had a great afternoon cycling during the weekend and was feeling pleased the next working day as I set out to assist a new couple holidaying in Mayfield. They had conked out after putting diesel in their Volkswagen, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the lady telling her husband off for actually being so daft. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass regularly in East Sussex and that it is nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he yet still had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
