Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of your premises containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel may lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations pretty simply.

Take note though that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
