AdBlue In Diesel

In Hampshire we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to crank the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will often produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations quite quickly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Hampshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Hannington (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and refill the car. They will deal with any of the normal problems which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Hannington - Hannington Fuel Drain

A guy had broken down just near a street in Hannington. His Mazda engine had ceased working and he'd no clue what was wrong right up until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can not believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got virtually no rest the day before and that must have been why.
