It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were sitting talking over the recent sports results, ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Mead End and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen hire car by mistake. She was rather troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my mind!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Hampshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Mead End (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will deal with the common troubles which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
