It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were resting going over the recent sports rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Chandlers Ford and put petrol in a diesel Citroen rental car. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and that these things regrettably happen. She managed to move the car to a protected position and, because it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my mind!

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in the event that you have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is actually harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will be squirted into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, resulting in devastating and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container sitting in the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Hampshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Chandlers Ford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They can also deal with the usual troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Chandlers Ford - Chandlers Ford Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman called us from his house on a street in Chandlers Ford. He exclaimed, "My car (a Dacia) is not starting and is producing dreadful sounds when I flip the ignition."

We got there promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
