Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over East Sussex we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not knowing how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't crank the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases rather swiftly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in East Sussex for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Newhaven (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of the typical issues which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
