Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Offer:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout East Sussex we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly never start the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in East Sussex to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Ninfield (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and refill the car. They can also deal with any of the typical issues which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Ninfield - Ninfield Wrong Fuel

I'd had a fantastic day fishing during my day off and felt pleased with myself the next day as I set off to assist a young family vacationing in Ninfield. They had broken down after filling diesel into their Mercedes, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked as I heard to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass all the time in East Sussex and that it's in reality nothing to get worried about, even so he still got his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
