It was about 8 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting talking about the recent tennis rankings, ready for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Ropley Dean and filled petrol in her diesel Toyota lease car. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected space and, as it was only a few miles from our van, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and less apprehensive. Another job in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hampshire we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely do not start up the car - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can certainly bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Hampshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Ropley Dean (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car. They can also take care of any of the typical troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
