It was after 8 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were sitting there discussing the football, waiting for the next call for the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Hawthorn and filled petrol in her diesel MINI hire car in error. She was very agitated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was only a short distance from our van, we could reach the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and much less worried. Yet another job in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

Provided Services: Our Specialties:

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Hampshire we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of people not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can easily produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances very quickly.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Hampshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Hawthorn (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the standard problems that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hawthorn - Hawthorn Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a terrific afternoon golfing during my off day and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I set out to aid a new family vacationing in Hawthorn. They had conked out after inserting the wrong fuel into their Volvo, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and laughed as I listened to the girl chastising her spouse for being so stupid. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this problem occurs frequently in Hampshire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove off I waved so long and thought about what her indoors would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
