It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting there commenting on the recent football rankings, at the ready for the seventh call that day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Headley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat rental by mistake. The poor lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and not so concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my books!

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers being unsure of how to use it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Hampshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Headley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the standard troubles which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Headley

Tales from our own Headley employees:

I wouldn't like being stranded in a automobile contaminated with the incorrect fuel halfway down the road. One of our most recent customers who put the wrong fuel in her car (Volvo) in Headley had exactly this problem: "You probably know that I accidently put the wrong fuel in my car recently. I was so troubled about my mistake that I was actually in tears. Fortunately I shouldn't have concerned myself since you were outstanding in sorting it out."

Fuel Drain Headley - Headley Wrong Fuel Assist

This was exactly what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly 2:30am and noone was about. It had become rather quiet up to now, and me and Paul were sitting reading some old papers. This was an unusual peaceful hour in Hampshire. It was in fact that tranquil that the instant my mobile eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist on the other end stated: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in the Jaguar in error". I told him to inform us where the car was located and we set off, getting to him in Headley only an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the motor and he said thanks a lot for coming so fast. While we were going back home we saw two ladies at the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. So we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.
