It was just after five pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were seated there talking about the recent sports, waiting around for the next job for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Peacehaven and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI rental car in error. She was rather irritated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over East Sussex we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And certainly never crank the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances quite expediently.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in East Sussex for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Peacehaven (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car. They can also deal with any of the common issues which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Peacehaven - Peacehaven Fuel Removal

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening cycling on my day off and felt contented the following working day as I was on the way to assist a new family who were on holiday in Peacehaven. They conked out after inserting the wrong fuel into their Citroen, and they were close to an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the lady chastising her man for being so foolish. "Just how could you actually manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this happens on daily basis in East Sussex and that it's really absolutely nothing to stress about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and thought about what her indoors would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
