It was around five pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the recent footy results, ready for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Bassett Green and put petrol in a diesel Renault rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find her quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and much less stressed. Another fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it asap. And certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

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