It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring! Brian and I were seated there discussing the footy rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Olivers Battery and put petrol in her diesel Dacia rental. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could reach the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. Yet another job in Hampshire well done in my mind!

Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in case you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue is certainly harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, triggering disastrous and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And of course take care not to start the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations fairly simply.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container lying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Hampshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Olivers Battery (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your car. They are also able to take care of the most common troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
