It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were sitting there talking about the golf, ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Lane End and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen lease car. She was quite affected apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find the lady quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and not so stressed. A fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

In Hampshire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not knowing how to to make use of (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases fairly expediently.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial 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 legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.
