It was just after eight pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the tennis, prepared for the sixth job to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Halland and put petrol in her diesel SEAT rental car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, because it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. Yet another job in East Sussex well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over East Sussex we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not knowing the way to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never start the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases rather expediently.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container at the back of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in East Sussex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Halland (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the typical problems which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Halland - Halland Wrong Fuel in Car

A man called us from Halland saying he mistakenly pumped the wrong fuel into his diesel Lexus. "Unbelievable! I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my beautiful diesel car!" It took the engineer approximately 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. He meticulously cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him car dealership prices to get the task properly performed.
