It was close to 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! James and me were resting talking about the golf, at the ready for the 6th job to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Quidhampton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot rental car. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the car into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a short distance from us, we could find her swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my mind!

Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Hampshire we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely never crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In case you have started the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.
