It was after eight pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and me were sitting discussing the weekend's footy, at the ready for the sixth call that day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Hook and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda rental. She was pretty affected it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately do happen.

Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

In Hampshire we have seen progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank laying at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Hampshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Hook (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up the car. They can also deal with the common troubles which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hook - Hook Fuel Removal

A man contacted us from his home on a street in Hook. He pronounced, "My car (a Jaguar) is not running and is producing very bad noises when I flip the key." He said that he put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would solve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us he'd be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
