It was before five pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting there talking about the rugby rankings, waiting for the seventh telephone call to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Owslebury and filled petrol in her diesel Skoda rental car by mistake. The poor lady was rather distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that these things happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed in case you?ve poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? It can be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be pushed into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, bringing about serious and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can potentially produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container in the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Hampshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Owslebury (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill the car. They are also able to handle the standard issues which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
