It was after seven pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and me were resting discussing the football results, waiting for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in South Ham and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda rental car. The unfortunate lady was quite agitated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do if you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? It can be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations very quickly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Hampshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in South Ham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the common problems that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
