It was just before 10 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring! Brian and I were seated there commenting on the football rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Fareham and put petrol in her diesel Renault lease car. The poor lady was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure spot and, because it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find her swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my mind!

Services We Provide:

Listed here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do if you?ve put Adblue into your Diesel tank? Adblue is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, causing serious and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most definitely never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty easily.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Hampshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Fareham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Hampshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car. They are also able to deal with any of the normal problems which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Fareham - Fareham Wrong Fuel Assist

A man rang us from his home on a close in Fareham. He explained, "My vehicle (a Toyota) is not starting and is generating dreadful sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he would be sure to educate people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
