It was just after ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were seated there going over the recent footy, waiting around for the sixth call for the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Kilmeston and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes rental by mistake. The poor thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the car into a secure spot and, because it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel SoS' knowledgeable technical engineers are on call 24 hours a day. Simply call up our hotline and someone will come out, flush the incorrect fuel and get you rapidly back on the road.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Hampshire we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank may trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases very easily.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Hampshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.
