It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the rugby rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Purbrook and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi hire car in error. The poor lady was rather irritated it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected spot and, because it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and less worried. A job in Hampshire well done in my mind!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hampshire we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not knowing the way to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances quite expediently.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Hampshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Purbrook (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will be able to handle any of the typical problems that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Purbrook - Purbrook Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening hiking during the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a new couple who were away in Purbrook. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their Jaguar, and were approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the woman telling off her hubby for being so confused. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this problem occurs all the time in Hampshire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, but he still got an earful by his wife. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove away I waved so long and wondered what my missus would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
