It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were seated discussing the recent footy rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Hurst Green and put petrol in a diesel Chevrolet hire car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In East Sussex we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely don't switch on the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations very swiftly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank laying at the back of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in East Sussex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Hurst Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They can also deal with any of the typical problems that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hurst Green - Hurst Green Wrong Fuel Drain

Last week a man called us after his Smart ground to a halt in the middle of a road in Hurst Green. He had inadvertently put unleaded in his diesel motor and drove to the road before being forced to pull over. It was early in the morning and our technical engineer, who resides close by, was with him in about a quarter hour. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your timely response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
