It was after 10 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting talking about the rugby results, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Odiham and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen lease car in error. She was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find her quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hampshire we have discovered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the back of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a shed, as long as we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Odiham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to fix the standard issues that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Odiham - Odiham Wrong Fuel in Car

A man had conked out just off a street in Odiham. His Audi engine had ceased operating and he'd no idea what was awry until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got absolutely no sleep the night before and that could have been the key reason why.
