It was just after six pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were resting there talking over the recent rugby, ready for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Lower Wield and put petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi hire car by mistake. The poor lady was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure space and, because it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Hampshire we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to start the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases very expediently.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Lower Wield (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the common problems that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
