It was around six pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting there talking about the recent sports, prepared for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Arlington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford rental car in error. The poor thing was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the car to a protected area and, since it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and not so worried. A misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.
AdBlue In Diesel
In East Sussex we are encountering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.
Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.
If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously do not start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel may trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations pretty quickly.
Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
Removal of Waste Fuel
Have an old fuel container placed at the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in East Sussex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.
Out of Fuel Service
Out of fuel in Arlington (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your car. They will be able to handle any of the standard issues that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

What a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Wednesday and we were on my way to assist an elder lady after she put petrol in her diesel Audi in Arlington. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and was pulled up along a country road on the way to visit her godchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I reached the destination and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was working she said, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd just acquired it a short while ago right after my previous car, which I'd used for more than twenty five years, finally died". I got the job done and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely East Sussex lady!

This was certainly what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was around 3:30am and nobody was about. It had become quite quiet until now, and Brian and I were relaxing looking at a couple of old papers. That was a rare restful hour in East Sussex. It was in fact so peaceful that when my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The person on the opposite end told me: "I just finished my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in the MINI by mistake". We told him to inform us where the car was located and we headed out, ending up in Arlington only an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the motor and he thanked us for arriving so quickly. As we were coming back home we saw two women at the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we got out and helped them change it, much to their delight.
