It was about five pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing there going over the recent tennis, ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Jurys Gap and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat rental in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. A job in East Sussex done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout East Sussex we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you have started the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is likely to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in East Sussex to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Jurys Gap (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They can also fix any of the normal troubles that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
