It was about five pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting talking about the football results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Nobs Crook and put petrol in her diesel Citroen rental. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Hampshire we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people being unsure of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances rather simply.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Hampshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, providing we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Nobs Crook (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill the car. They are also able to deal with any of the common problems which might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
