It was just after six pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there going over the recent footy results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Marchwood and put petrol in her diesel Smart rental by mistake. She was rather affected apparently, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly happen. She was able to get the car to a safe area and, since it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hampshire we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously be careful not to crank the car - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to address in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol will trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Hampshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Marchwood (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill the car. They can also deal with any of the most common issues which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Marchwood - Marchwood Wrong Fuel

A while back a gentleman called us after his Mazda died in the middle of a street in Marchwood. He had by mistake put the incorrect fuel in the diesel vehicle and managed to drive so far as the street before being forced to pull up. It was actually early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides locally, was with him in less than 10 minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Genuine thanks to you for your prompt response, particularly at 2 a.m., I appreciate it."
