It was around six pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the rugby, ready for the sixth job that day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Ellingham and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda lease car in error. She was quite agitated apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, also that such things sadly happen. She was able to get the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could get to the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and much less anxious. A fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Deliver:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it if you?ve poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue can be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be pushed into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, leading to devastating and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

Phone us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel may well lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.
