It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry night, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were sitting there going over the rugby rankings, waiting for the seventh call that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Tangley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to move the car into a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could find the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly don't switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.
