It was close to 10 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's golf, waiting for the sixth job for the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Crux Easton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda hire car. The poor thing was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could reach the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. A job in Hampshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not understanding how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely never start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations rather quickly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Crux Easton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They are also able to fix any of the usual troubles which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Crux Easton - Crux Easton Vehicle Misfuel

A couple weeks ago a gentleman phoned us just after his Volkswagen stopped on a road in Crux Easton. He had by mistake put petrol in the diesel motor and got as far as the road before having to halt. It was in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who stays locally, arrived with him in less than 15 minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your immediate response, especially at 6 a.m., I am grateful for it."
