It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and me were sitting there commenting on the recent rugby results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Mottisfont and put petrol in her diesel Smart hire car. She was quite affected apparently, crying "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few miles from the office, we could get to the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. A job in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hampshire we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel is going to cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations quite simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Got a fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.
