It was around 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were resting talking over the footy, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in East Green and filled petrol in a diesel Mazda rental car. She was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could find her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and much less worried. One more job in Hampshire done well in my books!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hampshire we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not knowing the way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will often cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases quite swiftly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Hampshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in East Green (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile any time 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 come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to fix the common issues which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue East Green - East Green Vehicle Misfuel

A man contacted us from his place on a road in East Green. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a BMW) is not starting and is creating awful sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
