It was just after 7 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were seated discussing the recent golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Finally we got the call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Twyford and filled petrol in a diesel MINI rental in error. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hampshire we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations fairly simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank in the rear of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Hampshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Twyford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the normal issues which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
