It was close to five pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased raining! James and I were resting talking over the weekend's footy, prepared for the sixth job of the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Bunstead and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Jaguar rental by mistake. The poor thing was very affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe area and, as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my books!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hampshire we have discovered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of people not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely never start up the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of your premises with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Hampshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, if we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Bunstead (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with the most common problems that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
