It was around six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing there commenting on the tennis, at the ready for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Frithend and filled petrol in a diesel Smart hire car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to find the customer without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and less stressed. One more job in Hampshire done well in my books!

Services We Give:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Hampshire we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances very simply.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Frithend (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the typical troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
