It was about 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing there going over the recent football results, at the ready for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Cosham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki rental by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from us, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. A job in Hampshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hampshire we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by motorists being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may well bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Cosham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will handle the normal problems which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Cosham - Cosham Wrong Fuel

A gentleman called us from Cosham to say he had stupidly pumped unleaded in his diesel Ford. "Unbelievable! How could I put unleaded in my beautiful diesel car!" It only took our fuel drainer about 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel from the vehicle. He completely flushed the fuel system and then put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was happy and it didn't cost him dealer prices to get the work properly performed.
