AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Hampshire we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not understanding how to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never crank the engine - not even to move it into a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can easily trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of 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 an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Bordon (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They can also fix any of the common problems that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bordon - Bordon Fuel Drain

A gentleman had stopped just near a road in Bordon. His Jaguar car had stopped functioning and he'd no idea what was faulty till he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got virtually no sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason.
