It was after 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's football rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Tichborne and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected position and, because it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and much less stressed.

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hampshire we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers being unsure of how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Take note that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Hampshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Tichborne (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the standard problems that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Tichborne - Tichborne Wrong Fuel

A gentleman had conked out just near a street in Tichborne. His Smart motor had stopped working and he'd no clue what was faulty until eventually he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got no sleep the day before and that could have been the reason why.
