It was close to ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing there talking over the recent football, waiting around for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Church Common and filled petrol in her diesel MG lease car. She was fairly irritated apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Hampshire we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases rather easily.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Hampshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we can empty it.
