It was just before 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated going over the footy rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Finally we got a call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Arlington and put petrol in a diesel Honda lease car. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around East Sussex we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to people being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously never start up the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to deal with in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in East Sussex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Arlington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the most common problems which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
