It was just before five pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting going over the football rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Hannington and filled petrol in a diesel Fiat rental car. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and not so concerned. Yet another job in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hampshire we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Hannington (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the common problems which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hannington - Hannington Wrong Fuel in Car

Last week a gentleman phoned us right after his SEAT cut out in the middle of a road in Hannington. He had accidentally put petrol in his diesel vehicle and had managed to drive as far as the road before being forced to give up. It was early in the morning and our technician, who lives close by, was with him in less than 20 minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your timely response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I really appreciate it."
