Petrol in your diesel car in Lynch Hill? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this time of need and get you driving again with our specialist fuel removal service.

It was close to 5 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! Dan and I were relaxing there commenting on the football results, waiting for the 8th job to arrive. Before long we had a call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Lynch Hill and filled petrol in a diesel Honda lease car. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that these things can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe area and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another job in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

Listed here are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hampshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (important: it is 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 each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly don't start up the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty expediently.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container placed in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Hampshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Lynch Hill (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They can also handle the most common issues which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lynch Hill - Lynch Hill Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a great evening hiking on my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I headed out to help a young couple who were vacationing in Lynch Hill. They pulled over after putting petrol in their Volkswagen, and they were close to half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked as I heard to the woman telling off her man for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass on daily basis in Hampshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to fret about, nonetheless he still had an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I drained all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved farewell and thought about what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
