It was around five pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were seated discussing the sports, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Sholing and put petrol in a diesel Mazda hire car. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying at.

Services We Deliver:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it if you?ve poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? It is actually damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be pushed into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can potentially produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Hampshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.
