It was just after 5 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting discussing the footy rankings, ready for the sixth job for the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Basingstoke and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi hire car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at.

Our Areas of Specialties:

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do if you have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? It is certainly harmful to your car's fuel system, especially if you started the car with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations fairly easily.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
