We're merely a phone call away.

It was just after 9 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were resting there talking about the golf rankings, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Beckley and filled petrol in her diesel SEAT hire car in error. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from us, we were able to find the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in East Sussex done well in my mind!

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In East Sussex we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not understanding the way to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course don't crank the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases fairly easily.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in East Sussex to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Beckley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the usual troubles which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Beckley - Beckley Wrong Fuel Doctor

A motorist had stopped near a road in Beckley. His SEAT car had ceased functioning and he'd no idea what was the problem till he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got absolutely no rest the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
