It was just after six pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were resting there discussing the weekend's tennis, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Bexhill and filled petrol in her diesel MINI rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure space and, because it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over East Sussex we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank may well trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations rather simply.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in East Sussex for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Bexhill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your car. They will handle the standard problems which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Bexhill - Bexhill Wrong Fuel

I'd had a perfect evening fishing during my day off and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I was on the way to aid a new family who were vacationing in Bexhill. They'd conked out after adding diesel into their Citroen, and they were around an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled as I listened to the lady chastising her hubby for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you even be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this problem comes to pass all the time in East Sussex and that it's nothing to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his missus. Poor chap. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted farewell and pondered on what my wife would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
