Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout East Sussex we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you did start the car you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will often produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

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 seeing as the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in East Sussex to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

Petrol in Diesel Whitehawk - Whitehawk Wrong Fuel in Car

I appreciated a terrific afternoon golfing during my holiday and was feeling delighted the following day as I set out to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Whitehawk. They'd broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their Mercedes, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and laughed while I listened to the lady telling her husband off for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on constantly in East Sussex and that it is nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he still had an earful. Unlucky lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove off I waved good-bye and thought about what my missus would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
