It was just before 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent golf, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Colden Common and filled petrol in her diesel MG hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the motel she was living in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my mind!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

Wrong fuel put in the tank - Petrol fuel in a diesel engine leads to a lot of trouble to your engine. It may begin to cough and stall. The exhaust of your vehicle will start to emit a lot of smoke and starting the engine is really a challenge, especially if the engine has already cooled off. Reversing the incorrect fuel, diesel in a petrol tank, the signals you will notice are the same. Either way, we can fix it for you.

An engine contaminated with water - If you fill up your vehicle with water and not with the wrong fuel you are also in danger of losing your engine. Engine filled with water should be totally drained. Without draining, it will get rusty, and many other problems will quickly follow. Our experts will drain your engine without much sweat. We also provide assistance with filter replacement.

AdBlue in your Diesel tank - Similar to the incorrect fuel in the wrong place, people usually add AdBlue to their engine. Most of them misunderstand the goal of AdBlue. It should go in a special compartment around the engine, and not the engine itself. It reduces emissions. AdBlue contamination numbers are rising steadily. In the event you experience that problem, let's handle it for you.

Red diesel contamination of your engine - There are around 1500 garages marketing red diesel in the UK. So you shouldn't be surprised by the fact that red diesel can end up in your fuel tank. It might happen mistakenly while filling from a pump or a jerry can if you're distracted. If that is what you're concerned about, we can get it right quite quickly.

Tank with old and stale fuel - The quality of fuel will be lost if the car or truck is on standby and has been idle for some time. Its fuel on the tank will degrade if left unused. The engine may start and run but there will be irregularities you'll notice. Old fuel should be drained out, and it's a service we provide.

Fuel Drain Colden Common - Colden Common Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a great day fishing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I was en route to help a young family on holiday in Colden Common. They'd conked out after adding petrol in their Peugeot, and they were approximately an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled as I heard to the gal telling her man off for being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this situation comes to pass constantly in Hampshire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, however he all the same got his ear bent by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While they drove away I waved so long and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the same error... I would never ever hear the end of it!
