It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting going over the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the 6th call that day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Toothill and put petrol in a diesel Skoda rental car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Hampshire we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being aware of how to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases rather quickly.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Hampshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Toothill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will deal with any of the normal troubles which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Toothill - Toothill Wrong Fuel in Car

A man phoned us from Toothill saying he pumped petrol in his diesel Toyota. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my nice diesel car!" It only took our technician roughly fifty minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel from the car. He totally cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it hadn't cost him dealership rates to get the task professionally performed.
