Our Areas of Competence :

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hampshire we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely do not crank the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you have started the car you may likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is going to cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations very simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

We're able to come to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill up the car. They will take care of the usual problems that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
