It was just after eight pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Brian and me were sitting talking about the weekend's tennis, ready for the 8th job to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Itchen and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was just a short distance away from the office, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly.

Our Areas of Experience :

Listed below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hampshire we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not being totally sure the way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances very quickly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Hampshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

We're able to get out to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home.

They are also able to deal with any of the standard problems which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
