Our Services:

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hampshire we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely don't turn over the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations very simply.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank placed in the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Chilworth (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill the car. They are also able to handle any of the typical issues which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
