Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Southrope

Petrol in your diesel car in Southrope? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this hour of need and get you running again with our specialist fuel removal service.

It was close to 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's tennis rankings, ready for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Southrope and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai rental car. The poor lady was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was living in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

Put the incorrect fuel in the vehicle and somehow were able to get to your destination or have broken down on the road - we are able to assist. Our service plan is completely mobile and we will be able to come out no matter wherever you are and have the vehicle drained, emptied and running again right away - and at an acceptable price!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hampshire we are identifying progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And obviously do not switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is going to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations fairly simply.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container laying at the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Southrope (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They can also handle the typical troubles which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Southrope - Southrope Petrol in Diesel

A man phoned us from his house on a street in Southrope. He pronounced, "My car (a Chevrolet) is not starting and is producing terrible sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He said after that he'd be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
