It was just before 6 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting there going over the weekend's football, prepared for the 8th call for the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Eversley Centre and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly affected it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. A fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my mind!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Hampshire we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely be careful not to start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will likely result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases fairly simply.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Hampshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Eversley Centre (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the common troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Eversley Centre - Eversley Centre Wrong Fuel Assist

A customer had conked out off a street in Eversley Centre. His Vauxhall motor had ceased working and he had no idea what was awry until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got no sleep the evening before and that must have been why.
