It was just before 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting there going over the recent football, prepared for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Alverstoke and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi rental car in error. She was very distressed apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. A job in Hampshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hampshire we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If you have started the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances very quickly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Hampshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Alverstoke (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the usual issues which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Alverstoke - Alverstoke Vehicle Misfuel

Last week a youngster telephoned us soon after his Honda ground to a halt on a road in Alverstoke. He had inadvertently put the incorrect fuel in his diesel motor and drove so far as the street before needing to stop. It was actually early in the day and our fuel drainer, who stays not far away, reached him in approximately ten minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 4 a.m., I really appreciate it."
