Petrol in Diesel Houghton - Houghton Petrol in Diesel

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Saturday and I was off to help an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen in Houghton. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a country road on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and arrived within an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd just bought it a short while back after my former car, which I had used for about twenty years, eventually broke down". I completed the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Hampshire lady!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Hampshire we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of people not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you discover youself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the technical expertise and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may well produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember though that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Hampshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Recent Fuel Drains in Houghton

Stories from our Houghton technicians:

Now I'm not necessarily excessively inclined to doing work weekends, and a week ago was no different. I had only just come away from the wife and kids after a magnificent dinner cooked for me by the missus, and I was en route to assist a man because he put the incorrect petrol in his Citroen. He was situated in Houghton and so it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up at the car and got out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my concentration on other considerations and didn't ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I caused any kind of problems through starting it?" I revealed that there probably should not be any damage and also I would personally remove the fuel right away. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and then another satisfied motorist could continue on his trip without difficulty. The man could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what makes carrying out work on weekends in Hampshire just a small bit easier in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel in Car Houghton - Houghton Fuel Removal

A driver from Houghton with her little ones in her diesel Mazda had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the Shell service station. She called us weeping and really distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that all should be okay and that she would be in action very quickly. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children on board."

Wrong Fuel Assist Houghton - Houghton Wrong Fuel

A gentleman had stopped just off a street in Houghton. His Volkswagen motor had ceased working and he had no idea what was faulty until he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can not believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason why.
