It was before 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were relaxing talking about the sports results, ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Jevington and filled petrol in her diesel Smart rental by mistake. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from our van, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in East Sussex done well in my opinion!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around East Sussex we have noticed a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in East Sussex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

A motorist had conked out just near a road in Jevington. His Fiat car had stopped operating and he had no idea what was awry right up until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that could have been precisely why.
