It was after 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased raining! James and I were relaxing commenting on the rugby, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Netley and filled petrol in her diesel Volkswagen lease car in error. She was very agitated it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. A misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

Provided Services: Our Specialties:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in the event that you have poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? It is actually disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be injected into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases rather swiftly.

Remember that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container sitting in the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Hampshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Netley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to fix the usual troubles that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Netley - Netley Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a wonderful evening golfing during my day off and felt cheerful the following day as I set out to aid a new couple who were on holiday in Netley. They pulled over after inserting diesel in their Nissan, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady berating her partner for actually being so confused. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing happens regularly in Hampshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, nonetheless he yet still got an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
