This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hampshire we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't switch on the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Hampshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Colden Common (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to fix any of the most common issues that can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Colden Common - Colden Common Fuel Removal

A couple of days ago a young man contacted us soon after his Land Rover stopped along a street in Colden Common. He had unintentionally put petrol in the diesel motor and got as far as the road before needing to pull over. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays not far away, was with him in about a quarter hour. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 1 a.m., I appreciate it."
