It was before 9 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were seated there talking over the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the 6th job to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Southover and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental car by mistake. The poor thing was rather distressed it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could reach her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in East Sussex done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in case you have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical made from a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%).Adblue is definitely devastating to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be injected into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, bringing about devastating and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And definitely take care not to start up the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances rather easily.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in East Sussex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can empty it.

We are able to help to refill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home.
