It was just after seven pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting talking about the recent rugby results, prepared for the next telephone call to come in. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Grateley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall hire car in error. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure space and, as it was just a few minutes from us, we could find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at.

Our Areas of Specialties:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hampshire we have discovered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not understanding the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In case you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations very quickly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Hampshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Grateley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on the 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 correct fuel (at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the normal problems that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
