If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Oakridge (incorrect fuel Oakridge) we are the company you need to call. We operate throughout the entirety of the Oakridge region and all nearby sectors.

It was around six pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were relaxing there going over the tennis, waiting around for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Oakridge and filled petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite affected apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do if you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue is certainly harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be pushed into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Oakridge (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home.
