It was before 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were sitting talking over the weekend's golf, waiting for the sixth call that day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Sandford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota lease car. The unfortunate lady was very agitated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and not so worried. Yet another job in Hampshire done well in my books!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hampshire we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely never start the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations very expediently.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Hampshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Sandford (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car. They are also able to handle any of the typical troubles which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

A gentleman contacted us from his residence on a close in Sandford. He explained, "My vehicle (a MG) is not running and is making awful sounds when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car however thought he would remedy the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He said that he would be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
