Our Areas of Expertise :

Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hampshire we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Any time you discover youself to be in this scenario don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our experts have the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can easily cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Hampshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Petrol in Diesel Alton - Alton Vehicle Misfuel

A man had conked out near a road in Alton. His Jaguar engine had ceased working and he had no idea what was awry till he noticed he put petrol in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten no sleep the evening before and that must have been why.
