It was just after 7 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were seated going over the football, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Hardley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota rental car by mistake. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected area and, because it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to get to the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Hampshire we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists being unsure of how to use it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Any time you end up in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the technical skills and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations very simply.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Hampshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hardley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle the standard troubles that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Hardley - Hardley Fuel Removal

A gentleman contacted us from his place on a road in Hardley. He explained, "My car (a Hyundai) is not running and is producing terrible noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He told us he would be sure to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
