It was after 8 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the recent football rankings, waiting around for the 8th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Lower Brook and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes hire car by mistake. She was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the car into a secure area and, since it was just a few miles from us, we could find her right away. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. One more job in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hampshire we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly do not start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations fairly quickly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Hampshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Lower Brook (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car or truck. They will deal with the standard troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Lower Brook - Lower Brook Wrong Fuel

A gentleman had conked out off a road in Lower Brook. His Chevrolet engine had ceased running and he'd no clue what was wrong right up until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got zero rest the day before and that must have been why.
