It was before five pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and me were sitting talking about the weekend's sports, ready for the next telephone call to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Uckfield and filled petrol in her diesel Fiat hire car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car to a safe space and, as it was only a short distance off from the office, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was staying in.

Our Areas of Competency :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In East Sussex we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people being unsure of how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can potentially cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container laying at the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in East Sussex to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Uckfield (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They will be able to fix the standard issues that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Uckfield - Uckfield Wrong Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a perfect evening cycling on my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I was on the way to help a new couple who were on holiday in Uckfield. They had conked out after putting petrol into their Nissan, and they were about an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and laughed as I listened to the woman telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this problem takes place frequently in East Sussex and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, however he still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and pondered on what my missus would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never live it down!
