It was around 8 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were resting there commenting on the recent footy rankings, prepared for the next call to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Brown Candover and filled petrol in her diesel Mazda lease car. The poor thing was fairly distressed it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. Another job in Hampshire done well in my books!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hampshire we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously don't start the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases very quickly.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Hampshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

We can easily come to fill up your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home.
