It was around five pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's golf, prepared for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Westfield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Honda rental in error. The poor thing was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was just a few miles away from our van, we could find the woman quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and not so stressed. A misfuel correction in East Sussex done well in my opinion!

Services We Give:

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over East Sussex we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you have started the car you would probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases pretty quickly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in East Sussex to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Westfield (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the common problems that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Westfield - Westfield Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a perfect day golfing during my day off and felt pleased with myself the following day as I set off to assist a young family vacationing in Westfield. They had stopped after putting diesel into their Renault, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smiled while I listened to the gal berating her partner for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this situation happens all the time in East Sussex and that it's nothing to fret about, however he all the same got an earful by his wife. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed good bye and pondered on what my wife would say to me if ever I made the same blunder... I would never ever hear the end of it!
