These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In East Sussex we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people not being aware of how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can certainly produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in East Sussex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.
