It was just before 7 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were seated talking over the recent golf results, waiting for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Crookham Village and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda lease car. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Hampshire we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never start up the engine - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Crookham Village (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will be able to deal with the common problems that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Crookham Village - Crookham Village Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman had broken down off a road in Crookham Village. His Peugeot car had stopped functioning and he'd no clue what was awry until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten virtually no rest the day before and that could have been the key reason why.
