It was just before 7 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were resting going over the weekend's football results, waiting for the sixth job of the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Southwood and filled petrol in a diesel Kia rental car by mistake. The poor thing was very affected it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this do happen. She managed to move the car to a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could reach the woman without delay.

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hampshire we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously don't switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Hampshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Southwood (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.

Fuel Rescue Southwood - Southwood Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a perfect day cycling during my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I was on the way to aid a young couple who were away in Southwood. They had pulled over after putting petrol into their Suzuki, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smirked as I listened to the gal chastising her husband for turning out to be so confused. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this problem goes on all the time in Hampshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing by his wife. Poor chap. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I would personally never ever live it down!
