It was before five pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not ceased raining! Dan and I were seated there talking about the recent footy rankings, prepared for the next telephone call to come in. Before long we got a call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Purbrook and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo lease car in error. The poor thing was pretty affected it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly do happen.

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Hampshire we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Hampshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.
