It was before eight pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing there talking over the sports, waiting around for the sixth call to arrive. Before long we received the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Awbridge and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite affected apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my mind!

Services We Give:

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hampshire we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely never switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances very quickly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Hampshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Awbridge (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill up your car. They will fix any of the typical issues which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Awbridge - Awbridge Fuel Rescue

A customer rang us from his place on a street in Awbridge. He said, "My car (a SEAT) is not starting and is creating very bad sounds when I flip the key." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would resolve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, performed the drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he would be certain to advise people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
