It was before 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there going over the rugby rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Eastleigh and filled petrol in her diesel Renault lease car in error. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my books!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? It tends to be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol may trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations rather expediently.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container at the back of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Eastleigh (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the standard issues which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
