It was after 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were relaxing there discussing the weekend's football results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Appleshaw and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi rental. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was just a short distance away from the office, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and less worried. A fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hampshire we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may well bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Appleshaw (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up the car. They will handle the standard problems which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Many thanks to you for your timely response, especially at 5 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
