It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated discussing the recent football, at the ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Hawkley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet lease car in error. She was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car into a protected area and, as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could get to the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hampshire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people not being aware of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can easily result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Hawkley (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and refill your automobile. They can also fix the typical issues which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
