It was after seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were resting there talking about the sports rankings, waiting around for the next job that day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Southwood and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental car in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from us, we were able to reach her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed if you have put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue tends to be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be squirted into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course do not switch on the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases fairly quickly.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container lying at the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Southwood (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the common troubles which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.
