Wrong Fuel Oakhanger - Oakhanger Fuel Drain

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Tuesday and we were on my way to assist an old lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel Volvo in Oakhanger. I'd been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up in a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour. I got to the location and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I have been getting quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel because I had only just bought it a few days back right after my previous car, which I had for over 30 years, inevitably broke down". I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a precious Hampshire woman!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Hampshire we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the technical skills and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to address in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can certainly cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations quite expediently.

You should know however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Hampshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Oakhanger (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will be able to fix the standard problems which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Following are reviews and good examples of wrong fuel removal completed in Oakhanger:

I'm not ever overly keen on running weekends, and a week ago was the same. I'd only just departed the wife and kids after having a fantastic dinner cooked for me by the wife, and I was on the way to help a fellow who had put the wrong petrol in his Toyota. He was stationed in Oakhanger hence I arrived on scene almost immediately. Just as I drove up at the car and started work he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on something else and failed to ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created any kind of problems simply by starting it?" I revealed truth be told there shouldn't be any damage and also that I'd drain the contaminated fuel immediately. It goes without saying that I removed the fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and then another contented client had the ability to continue his trip without any hassle. He could hardly stop thanking me, and this is actually what makes working on weekends in Hampshire a little better for me!
