It was before 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Sholing Common and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT lease car. She was very troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was just a few miles from our van, we could reach the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hampshire we are discovering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly be careful not to crank the car - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will likely produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations very simply.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Hampshire to take care of removing 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 tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Sholing Common (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They will fix the standard problems which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Sholing Common - Sholing Common Fuel Drain

A customer rang us from his place on a close in Sholing Common. He said, "My car (a Toyota) is not starting up and is making very bad noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us he would be sure to tell people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
