We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Hampshire we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may well produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations very simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Totton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill up the car. They will fix the normal troubles that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Totton - Totton Fuel Drain

I'd had a fantastic day golfing during the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Totton. They conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their Dacia, and the car was approximately an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this goes on frequently in Hampshire and that it's really nothing to worry about, nevertheless he all the same got an earful by his wife. Poor lad. Anyway, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed farewell and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
