It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the sports rankings, prepared for the 8th call that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Woodington and put petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi lease car. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hampshire we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not being totally sure how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel will likely contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations rather swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Hampshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Woodington (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
