It was after ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were seated talking about the recent football, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Portsmouth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai lease car. The unfortunate lady was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more job in Hampshire well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hampshire we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we can access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank laying in the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, if we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Portsmouth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up the car. They are also able to take care of any of the typical troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Portsmouth - Portsmouth Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man called us from Portsmouth to state that he had mistakenly piped unleaded into his diesel Suzuki. "I can't believe it! How could I put unleaded in my lovely diesel car!" It only took the fuel drainer roughly fifty minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel from the car. He carefully cleaned the fuel system and after that put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealership rates to have the job professionally done.
