Fuel Removal Basingstoke - Basingstoke Wrong Fuel Drain

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and I was off to help an elder woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot in Basingstoke. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a backwater lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I punched the location in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I had only got it a week ago because my previous one, which I used for in excess of 30 years, eventually died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Hampshire lady!

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hampshire we have seen more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you discover youself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may well result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container placed in the rear of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

We reassured her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be in action in no time at all. When we got there she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined.
