It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's footy, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Ragged Appleshaw and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very distressed apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from us, we could find the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another job in Hampshire well done in my mind!

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

AdBlue Contamination

All around Hampshire we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you discover youself to be in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts have the practical skills and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may well produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Hampshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Ragged Appleshaw (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to refill the car. They will handle any of the common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
