AdBlue Contamination

All over Hampshire we are discovering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly do not turn over the motor - not even to shift it to a parking area. If you did start the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations quite swiftly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Stanmore (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your car. They can also deal with the usual issues that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Stanmore - Stanmore Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a wonderful day cycling on the weekend and was feeling contented the next working day as I set out to assist a new family vacationing in Stanmore. They had conked out after inserting petrol in their Peugeot, and they were roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked as I listened to the gal telling off her man for actually being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass everyday in Hampshire and that it is nothing to stress about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the guy. At any rate, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and considered what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
