It was around eight pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were resting commenting on the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the seventh telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Fair Oak and filled petrol in her diesel Renault hire car in error. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things do happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected position and, as it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less concerned. A misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can easily produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances very easily.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Hampshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel Fair Oak - Fair Oak Petrol in Diesel

A man had stopped off a road in Fair Oak. His Volvo car had stopped operating and he'd no idea what was faulty until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle.

He said that he had gotten no rest the evening before and that could have been the reason why.
