It was close to five pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated commenting on the golf results, waiting for the next fuel drain to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Itchen and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe space and, because it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to find the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my mind!

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hampshire we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Hampshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Itchen (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill up your car. They are also able to take care of any of the normal troubles which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Itchen - Itchen Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer had conked out just near a street in Itchen. His Jaguar engine had ceased working and he'd no clue what was the problem right up until he noticed he put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can not believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got virtually no sleep the day before and that must have been the reason.
