It was close to 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated there going over the weekend's sports, waiting around for the sixth telephone call to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Crawley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche rental in error. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer rather quickly.

Our Areas of Competence :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hampshire we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you find yourself in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the practical competence and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases very swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying at the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Hampshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Crawley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your vehicle.
