It was just after 6 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing there going over the football results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Chandlers Ford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan hire car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was just a few miles from the office, we were able to reach her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another job in Hampshire done well in my books!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Offer:

Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do in case you?ve poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is composed of a mixture of deionized water and urea.It can be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you started the car with Adblue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be squirted into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may well lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Hampshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Chandlers Ford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your automobile.

Vehicle Misfuel Chandlers Ford - Chandlers Ford Wrong Fuel Drain
