It was about 9 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were resting there going over the golf, waiting around for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Ringmer and filled petrol in her diesel Mercedes rental in error. The unfortunate lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, as it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and not so anxious. A fuel drain in East Sussex done well in my books!

Services We Deliver:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In East Sussex we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will often lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases quite expediently.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in East Sussex for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Ringmer (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car. They will handle the common troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides close by, arrived with him in approximately 15 minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back into the car. "Thank you for your fast response, particularly at 2 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
