Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Hampshire we have seen more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it asap. And absolutely do not switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If you did start the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to handle in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases rather easily.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Got an old fuel container placed at the back of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Hampshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

We can get out to re-fill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.
