It was close to 6 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated there commenting on the football, ready for the next call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Milford on Sea and put the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT lease car. She was quite troubled apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected space and, as it was only a few minutes away from us, we could find the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my books!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do if you may have poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made from a blend of high-purity urea and ionized water (67.5%).Adblue is certainly damaging to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will be pulled into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations pretty easily.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Hampshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Milford on Sea (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will deal with any of the normal problems which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
