It was about eight pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking over the football, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Aldershot and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. The poor lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach her without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hampshire we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely never turn over the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Hampshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Aldershot (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.

Fuel Drain Aldershot - Aldershot Petrol in Diesel

A guy had stopped just off a road in Aldershot. His Suzuki engine had stopped working and he had no clue what was faulty right up until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero sleep the day before and that must have been precisely why.
