It was just after 8 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were resting there commenting on the weekend's football, waiting around for the 6th job to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in The Straits and put petrol in a diesel Skoda hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we could find the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and not so worried. A fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my mind!

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do in the event that you?ve poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s made of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%).Adblue can be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely never turn over the engine - not even to shift it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the car you may probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank can potentially lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in The Straits (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car. They will be able to take care of any of the standard problems which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car The Straits - The Straits Fuel Drain

A customer phoned us from his house on a close in The Straits. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a MG) is not starting up and is generating dreadful noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He said he'd be certain to educate people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
