Our Areas of Specialties:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not understanding how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely do not start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If you have started the car you would probably have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Hampshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Winchester (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the standard issues that may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.


Petrol in Diesel Winchester - Winchester Vehicle Misfuel

A man had stopped near a street in Winchester. His Citroen engine had ceased running and he had no clue what was the problem right up until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten no sleep the day before and that must have been the reason why.

We do over 7 thousand fuel drains on an annual basis in the UK (you bet, there are that many people today who make the mistake - you are definitely not by yourself).

You guys came out and sorted out the problem when my car gave up." We drained the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the system meticulously afterwards and the driver could proceed with his sheduled delivery.

Vehicle Misfuel Winchester - Winchester Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman who had unluckily put unleaded in his diesel Nissan contacted us for help at the Tesco petrol filling station in Winchester. He had decided to top up before going on to the local holiday park . "I put unleaded instead of diesel which unfortunately wasn't a good start to our holiday." It was no problem in the least for our technical engineer to go and carry out the fuel drain. We hope they had a good getaway.

Vehicle Misfuel Winchester - Winchester Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman called us from his place on a road in Winchester. He said, "My car (a Mazda) is not starting and is generating dreadful sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then thought he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
