Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around East Sussex we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations quite easily.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in East Sussex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Arlington (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will handle the typical problems which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
