Petrol in your diesel car in Batts Corner? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this emergency and get you running once again with our specialist fuel removal assistance.

It was just before 6 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there talking about the rugby results, prepared for the 8th job to arrive. Before long we had the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Batts Corner and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen hire car. The unfortunate thing was very troubled it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was only a short distance from our van, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and much less worried. One more job in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hampshire we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially due to people not understanding the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. In case you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Hampshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Batts Corner (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car. They can also fix the most common problems which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Batts Corner - Batts Corner Wrong Fuel in Car

A man called us from his place on a close in Batts Corner. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Ford) is not starting and is generating terrible sounds when I flip the key." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
