It was just before seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated there talking over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the next job for the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Willingdon and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental car in error. She was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from our van, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in East Sussex done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over East Sussex we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously do not start the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is going to result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container placed at the back of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in East Sussex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Willingdon (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill the car. They will fix any of the typical problems which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Willingdon - Willingdon Petrol in Diesel

A man called us from his place on a close in Willingdon. He exclaimed, "My car (a Jaguar) is not running and is generating dreadful sounds when I turn the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would resolve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We got there promptly, did the drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He said that he'd be certain to tell people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
