AdBlue In Diesel

All around East Sussex we have noticed an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In case you did start the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in East Sussex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Portslade Village (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the standard problems that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Portslade Village - Portslade Village Fuel Drain

A gentleman contacted us from his place on a close in Portslade Village. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Volvo) is not running and is creating dreadful noises when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he would be sure to advise people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
