It was just before ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there going over the recent tennis results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Tichborne and filled petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at the woman without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Another job in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in case you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a blend of deionized water (67.5%) and urea.It is actually damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, triggering disastrous and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously never start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is likely to produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases rather quickly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container at the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Hampshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Tichborne (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to refill your car. They will be able to fix any of the standard issues which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
