It was about seven pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were resting there discussing the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the next telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Basingstoke and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and less worried. Another fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in case you have put Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that?s composed of a mix of deionized water (67.5%) and urea.It tends to be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will likely bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Hampshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Basingstoke (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle the normal troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Basingstoke - Basingstoke Wrong Fuel in Car

The other day a driver telephoned us soon after his Skoda stopped working on a street in Basingstoke. He had unintentionally put unleaded in his diesel car and got to the street before needing to halt. It was actually early in the day and our fuel drainer, who lives close by, reached him in less than 15 minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the car. "Thank you for your timely response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
