It was after ten pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and I were sitting going over the tennis rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Lymington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault rental car in error. She was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we could get to the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and not so anxious. Another job in Hampshire well done in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hampshire we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously never turn over the car - not even to move it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you will probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can potentially result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations fairly quickly.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Lymington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They can also take care of the typical troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
