It was before ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and me were sitting talking about the footy results, waiting for the sixth job of the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Pounsley and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. Another fuel drain in East Sussex done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around East Sussex we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly do not turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases rather easily.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container in the back of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in East Sussex to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Pounsley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up the car. They are also able to handle the typical problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Pounsley - Pounsley Wrong Fuel Drain

A week ago a driver phoned us soon after his BMW died in the middle of a road in Pounsley. He had accidentally put petrol in his diesel car and was only able to get so far as the road before needing to pull up. It was still in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives not far away, arrived with him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Genuine kudos to you for your fast response, particularly at 1 a.m., I really appreciate it."
