It was about 10 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were relaxing going over the rugby, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Hatchet Green and put petrol in a diesel Volvo lease car. She was quite agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to get the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hampshire we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank is going to lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations very easily.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Hampshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Hatchet Green (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and refill the car. They will be able to fix the common issues which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hatchet Green - Hatchet Green Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman had broken down just off a road in Hatchet Green. His Nissan engine had ceased operating and he had no idea what was awry until eventually he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got virtually no sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason why.
