Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hampshire we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely never start the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will likely bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Hampshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages.

Fuel Removal Portsmouth - Portsmouth Petrol in Diesel

I had a perfect afternoon golfing on my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the next morning as I set off to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Portsmouth. They'd conked out after filling diesel into their MINI, and they were close to an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smiled while I heard to the woman telling off her spouse for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this takes place on daily basis in Hampshire and that it's really nothing to worry about, nevertheless he still had an earful by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove away I waved farewell and thought about what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
