It was after 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were seated there commenting on the football rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to come in. Finally we received a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Hoe Gate and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very affected it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at.

Our Fields of Expertise:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hampshire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by people not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not turn over the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will often produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations pretty simply.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

We can get out to fill up your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.
