It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were seated going over the recent footy results, waiting around for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Newtown and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi hire car by mistake. She was very distressed apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hampshire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And absolutely don't switch on the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations fairly swiftly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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 can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Hampshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Newtown (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your car.

Wrong Fuel Drain Newtown - Newtown Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had enjoyed a fantastic afternoon cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling pleased the next morning as I set out to help a young couple on holiday in Newtown. They'd pulled over after filling diesel in their Smart, and they were approximately an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the gal telling her man off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this situation takes place regularly in Hampshire and that it is nothing to be anxious about, however he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved bon voyage and wondered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
