It was after 9 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were resting going over the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting around for the next job to come in. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Fleet and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar hire car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my mind!

Our Services:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hampshire we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not being aware of the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely do not turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Hampshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Fleet (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to deal with any of the standard issues which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
