It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were seated there talking about the recent tennis results, prepared for the 8th call of the day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Crawley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda lease car in error. She was quite agitated apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this do happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe area and, because it was just a few miles from the office, we could reach her quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could go home to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Hampshire we have discovered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people being unsure of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can potentially lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases quite easily.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Hampshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Crawley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of the usual problems that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Crawley - Crawley Fuel Rescue

I'd had a fantastic afternoon hiking on my off day and felt contented the following day as I headed out to help a new family who were on holiday in Crawley. They broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their Skoda, and the car was around an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I heard to the woman berating her partner for being so daft. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this happens everyday in Hampshire and that it's really nothing to fret about, and yet he still got an earful by his better half. Unlucky chap. In any case, I drained all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching as they drove off I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!
