It was after 7 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting going over the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Before long we had the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Fyfield and filled petrol in her diesel Lexus hire car by mistake. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this often happen. She was able to get the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hampshire we have discovered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not being aware of the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never start up the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol may result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations very simply.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank placed in the back of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Hampshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Fyfield (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will deal with any of the usual problems that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
