It was just before seven pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were resting commenting on the golf, ready for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Bisterne and put petrol in her diesel Porsche hire car by mistake. The poor thing was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the car into a protected spot and, as it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging at.

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hampshire we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not knowing how to use it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will often trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Hampshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.
