Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hampshire we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously be careful not to start the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank may well produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations quite simply.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Hampshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Easton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill up your car. They can also fix any of the typical issues that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
