It was just before 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting there commenting on the rugby results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Before long we got a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Sarisbury and filled petrol in her diesel Jaguar rental in error. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do if you have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is certainly damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances pretty easily.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank at the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Hampshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Sarisbury (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the normal problems that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Sarisbury - Sarisbury Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman contacted us from his residence on a street in Sarisbury. He pronounced, "My car (a Mazda) is not starting up and is producing dreadful noises when I flip the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
