It was about 10 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated going over the recent football, waiting for the seventh job to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Cupernham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel clean white Cadillac STS rental in error. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could reach the lady without delay.

Waste Fuel Disposal
Have a fuel container lying in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Hampshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.
Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations rather expediently.
Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.
