Our Areas of Competency :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by people being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely don't start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may well cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations pretty simply.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Hampshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Fleet (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the standard issues which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Fleet - Fleet Petrol in Diesel

Last monday a man phoned us just after his Nissan broke down on a road in Fleet. He had by accident put the wrong fuel in the diesel car and managed to get so far as the road before having to pull over. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our technician, who lives close by, reached him in approximately a quarter hour. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your timely response, particularly at 6 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
