Wrong Fuel Doctor The Mint - The Mint Fuel Drain

What a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Saturday and we were off to help an old sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel Volvo in The Mint. She told us that she had left the filling station and pulled up on a rural road en route to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd just bought it a couple of days back after my other car, which I owned for about twenty years, eventually died". I got the drain completed and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Hampshire lady!

Our Areas of Competence :

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Hampshire we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not understanding how to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol may well produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances quite simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Hampshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in The Mint (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to fix the normal troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car The Mint - The Mint Vehicle Misfuel

A person phoned us from The Mint to state that he mistakenly piped unleaded in his diesel Dacia. "What a fool! I can't believe I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It only took our specialist roughly fifty minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He thoroughly purged the fuel system and after that put clean fuel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him car dealership rates to get the work properly done.


Recent Fuel Drains in The Mint

Stories from our The Mint personnel:

We a few weeks ago got a phone call about a motorist who put the incorrect fuel in his Nissan in The Mint. He had conked out on the street. "I was pleased at how speedy you people were in having somebody out to help me when I erroneously filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you so much". Needless to say we appeared rapidly and purged the engine after draining all the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival the technician said the motorist was fuming, but was satisfied afterwards.

Vehicle Misfuel The Mint - The Mint Wrong Fuel in Car

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly sunrise and noone was stirring. It had become fairly quiet so far, and Paul and I were sitting around browsing several old articles. It was an unusual tranquil moment in Hampshire. Actually it was in fact that calm that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The customer explained: "I just finished my night shift and stupidly put petrol in my diesel Chevrolet by mistake". I instructed him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was located and we hit the road, arriving in The Mint less than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor. He thanked us for coming so quickly. As we were heading back home we saw two ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their delight.

Petrol in Diesel The Mint - The Mint Wrong Fuel in Car

A person called us from his place on a street in The Mint. He explained, "My car (a Hyundai) is not starting up and is making dreadful noises when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then imagined he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He said after that he would be sure to inform people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
