It was after six pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated there talking over the recent football, ready for the 8th call that day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Basingstoke and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet lease car. She was rather agitated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure space and, as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and less worried. A misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

Listed here are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hampshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Hampshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, if we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.
