It was after 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing talking over the recent football results, waiting for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Stoke and filled petrol in her diesel Nissan hire car. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe space and, as it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and not so concerned. One more job in Hampshire well done in my books!

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hampshire we have discovered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And of course never start the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the car you would likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances very easily.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Hampshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, providing we can get to it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Stoke (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill the car. They will fix any of the normal issues which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Stoke - Stoke Petrol in Diesel

Yesterday a driver contacted us soon after his Nissan cut out on a street in Stoke. He had accidentally put the incorrect fuel in the diesel motor and drove as far as the road before being forced to pull up. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides nearby, was with him in about fifteen minutes. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 4 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
