It was about five pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were resting commenting on the golf, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Plaitford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia hire car. The poor lady was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could arrive at the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and less stressed. Yet another job in Hampshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to address in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Hampshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Plaitford (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill the car. They can also take care of the common issues which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Plaitford - Plaitford Fuel Removal

A customer had conked out near a street in Plaitford. His Volvo engine had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was awry right up until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten very little sleep the night before and that could have been precisely why.
