It was just after 9 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped raining! James and me were resting there talking about the recent tennis, at the ready for the sixth call to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Milford on Sea and filled petrol in a diesel Porsche rental in error. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in.

Our Areas of Experience :

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do if you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? It is definitely devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be squirted into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly do not crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will often produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Drain Milford on Sea - Milford on Sea Wrong Fuel Doctor

I appreciated a terrific evening fishing on my afternoon off and felt satisfied the next morning as I set out to assist a young family on vacation in Milford on Sea. They conked out after adding diesel into their Lexus, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl telling off her spouse for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this problem happens continuously in Hampshire and that it's truly nothing to worry about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky lad. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I waved good bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the very same error... I would never ever hear the end of it!
