It was after eight pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were seated talking about the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the 6th job to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Hardley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover hire car in error. She was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could find the lady right away. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and less concerned. A job in Hampshire done well in my books!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hampshire we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of people not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And most certainly don't start the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances pretty expediently.

Remember that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Hampshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of fuel in Hardley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home.
