Our service is SPA qualified, and delivers nationwide coverage for anyone who has inadvertently filled up with the incorrect fuel.

It was just before 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were seated there talking over the golf results, waiting around for the 6th job that day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Rose Hill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan hire car in error. She was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, since it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the customer right away. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and not so stressed. Another job in East Sussex done well in my mind!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout East Sussex we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not being totally sure the way to use it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to start the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank is going to cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very expediently.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying in the back of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in East Sussex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Rose Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill your automobile. They can also take care of the usual troubles which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Rose Hill - Rose Hill Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had enjoyed a perfect day hiking during the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the following day as I set off to aid a young family on holiday in Rose Hill. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel in their Lexus, and they were about half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for actually being so daft. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass everyday in East Sussex and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he yet still had an earful by his wife. Poor guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved farewell and wondered what my wife would do to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would under no circumstances live it down!
