It was just before 5 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting commenting on the footy rankings, ready for the 8th job to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Plaitford and filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall hire car. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to find her right away. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and a lot less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my mind!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in the event that you have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? It tends to be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will be dragged into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, causing serious and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to start the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will often produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
