It was after five pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated talking over the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Hilsea and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo rental car in error. The poor lady was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and not so concerned. Another job in Hampshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you discover youself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
