It was just before ten pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there talking over the recent sports rankings, waiting for the next call of the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Foxdown and put petrol in a diesel Peugeot rental car in error. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe position and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could find the lady quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel
All over Hampshire we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not being aware of how to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.
So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases quite easily.
Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Recent Fuel Drains in Foxdown
Tales from our own Foxdown staff:
It must be horrible grinding to a halt in a car with the incorrect fuel on the street. Recently a customer who filled her car with the wrong fuel (Mitsubishi) in Foxdown endured exactly that type of issue: "WrongFuelSOS.com's fuel drain guy moved my motor from the live lane. He fixed it and had it running once again after only a half-hour. Couldn't recommend you more."

"I incorrectly put unleaded in my diesel car and I ultimately found out all about it several miles down the road!" Thankfully we were in a position to have an technician out to him in a rather quick time, considering the congestion, and he was before long back behind the wheel.
