He was relaxed when he rang us but somewhat worried to move his car off the road seeing that he was generating considerable congestion. We were on scene inside 15 minutes since our drainer was in nearby Bailey Green and had just completed a fuel drain.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Hampshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases quite quickly.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GU34 Postcode - Bailey Green Misfueling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a bright Tuesday and I was on the way to help an elder lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel uncle's Peugeot Expert in Bailey Green. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded in a backwater lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location in the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only acquired it a couple of days back after my other car, which I had had for about 25 years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Hampshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Bailey Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Bailey Green

I had appreciated a great evening fishing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied the following day as I was en route to help a new couple holidaying in Bailey Green. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their faithful Seat Arosa, and were approximately an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I listened to the lady chastising her spouse for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this happens regularly in Hampshire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still got an earful by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
