Our Areas of Specialties:
Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can fix any connected problems.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Hampshire we have seen increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the automobile.
Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious issue to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel may lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.
Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.
Marine Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.
Re-Fueling Assistance
Out of fuel in Andover (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the standard problems which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

I am not necessarily overly inclined to working weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd just left the family following a fantastic Sunday roast made for me by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a man after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his Toyota. He was situated in Andover hence it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. As I pulled up behind the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my thoughts on stuff and failed to grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused problems through driving it?" I said that there shouldn't be harm and also that I'd personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and another delighted customer had the ability to continue his ride without any subsequent bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in Hampshire a little bit less painful to me!

The car was coughing and then it stopped when she reached the the front of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired within 60 minutes while she was at work. She came outside afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely relieved you repaired my car."
