It was close to eight pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and me were seated there discussing the rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Hoe Gate and filled petrol in her diesel Dacia rental car. She was rather agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things often happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected position and, since it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and much less anxious. A misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my mind!

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we have found an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can potentially result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hoe Gate (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will handle the standard problems that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
