It was about five pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting talking about the football, waiting for the next call to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Headley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ferarri red Vauxhall lease car by mistake. She was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. Another job in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations quite simply.
Be aware that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Headley - Wrong Fuel in Car Headley
I had a terrific afternoon cycling on my afternoon off and felt delighted the following morning as I set out to assist a young family on vacation in Headley. They'd pulled over after filling diesel in their metallic yellow Audi riolet, and were around half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I listened to the lady telling her husband off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on constantly in Hampshire and that it's nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he still got his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive off I waved so long and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally never live it down!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Headley - Fuel Rescue Headley
It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was around dawn and nobody was around. It was quite uneventful up to now, and me and John were relaxing browsing a few old newspapers. It was an unusual restful moment in Hampshire. It was so tranquil that the instant the telephone rang I jumped with surprise! The person stated: "I've only just ended my overnight shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the mate's Ford Club Wagon in error". We told him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we left, reaching him in Headley an hour or so later. The fuel was extracted from the engine. He said thank you for showing up so quickly. While we were heading back to base we saw two women on the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their delight.
