It was just after 8 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were resting there commenting on the footy results, ready for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Ringwood and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to find the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. A job in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

Below are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in the event that you?ve put Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue is certainly devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be dragged into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly don't switch on the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will often bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations very expediently.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank lying in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Hampshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Ringwood (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car. They are also able to deal with the most common troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Ringwood - Ringwood Petrol in Diesel

I had a terrific day fishing on the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I set out to aid a young couple who were away in Ringwood. They had stopped after adding diesel in their Nissan, and were close to half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady telling her husband off for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this takes place all the time in Hampshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he yet still got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I drained all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
