Our Fields of Expertise:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In East Sussex we have found a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not knowing the right way to use it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And most certainly don't start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can potentially cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances fairly simply.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container at the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in East Sussex to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in The Thorne (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the most common troubles that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in The Thorne

A number of the more ordinary troubles we pick up from our technicians in The Thorne:

A teenager who had only recently passed his driving test had wrong fuelled his Nissan by having unleaded in the diesel vehicle at the station in The Thorne. He said, "This is only the second time I have put fuel in my car from the time when I bought it and I have no clue of how to proceed." He was also scared as his dad had just purchased him the car. He located our company on the web and so called us instantly, frightened about what he ought to do. Our individual on the phones advised him that we could be on scene within 45 minutes and to not start the car while he waited. We carried out the fuel drain on his vehicle and he mentioned how impressed he was that it was completed so swiftly and without any problem whatsoever.

Wrong Fuel in Car The Thorne - The Thorne Fuel Removal

A woman from The Thorne with her kids in her diesel Jaguar had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the Shell station. She called us weeping and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and didn't know what would happen to her car . We told her that the car would be okay and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the little ones on board."

Wrong Fuel Drain The Thorne - The Thorne Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a perfect afternoon fishing on my off day and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I headed out to assist a new couple holidaying in The Thorne. They'd pulled over after filling diesel into their Mercedes, and were approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling her spouse off for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing goes on frequently in East Sussex and that it is nothing to get worried about, however he still got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the guy. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted so long and wondered what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
