It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting there talking about the football, ready for the 8th call of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Maresfield and filled petrol in her diesel MG hire car. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from the office, we could reach the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away relaxed and less worried. A job in East Sussex done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around East Sussex we have seen progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not knowing the way to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you end up in this position don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts have the practical competence and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is going to result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations rather quickly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in East Sussex to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Maresfield (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will be able to deal with the typical issues which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Maresfield - Maresfield Wrong Fuel Doctor

A motorist had stopped near a road in Maresfield. His Lexus car had stopped operating and he had no idea what was faulty till he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got very little sleep the day before and that could have been why.
