It was about 8 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and me were seated talking about the recent golf, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Aldershot and put petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi rental car. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to get to her quickly.

One more fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Hampshire we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And of course be careful not to start up the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may well bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases pretty easily.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the back of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Hampshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Aldershot (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill the car. They can also handle the common troubles which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
