AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hampshire we have noticed more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel may cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Hampshire to take care of draining and disposing of 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 reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Glebe (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to handle the standard problems that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Glebe - Glebe Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a perfect afternoon golfing during my off day and felt contented the next working day as I headed out to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Glebe. They'd broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their Jaguar, and they were close to an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked as I listened to the woman berating her spouse for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass everyday in Hampshire and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, however he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove off I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
