Petrol in your diesel car in Totford? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this time of need and get you going once again with our professional wrong fuel removal assistance.

It was about five pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and me were sitting there talking over the recent rugby rankings, prepared for the 8th job to come in. In due time we got a call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Totford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet lease car. She was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this often happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from us, we could find her swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. One more job in Hampshire done well in my books!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hampshire we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of people not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to address in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel may well produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Totford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your car. They will take care of the normal issues which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Totford - Totford Fuel Removal

A gentleman called us from Totford saying he stupidly pumped unleaded in his diesel Vauxhall. "Unbelievable! How could I put petrol in my diesel car!" It took the technician around fifty minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He completely flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to have the work professionally performed.
