We're simply a telephone call away.

It was after 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were seated talking about the weekend's footy results, prepared for the next job for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Greatham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan lease car in error. The poor lady was very distressed apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed if you have put Adblue in a Diesel tank? It is actually disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously don't turn over the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. If you have started the car you will probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can easily produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases rather simply.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container in the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Hampshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered 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 container, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Greatham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will take care of the normal troubles which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Greatham - Greatham Vehicle Misfuel

A man contacted us from his home on a street in Greatham. He explained, "My vehicle (a Toyota) is not starting up and is making awful sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
