It was just after eight pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking over the sports results, waiting around for the sixth telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Bridport and put the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT hire car in error. She was very agitated it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was just a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at her quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could get back to the motel she was living at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Dorset done well in my mind!

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Dorset we have found progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Bridport (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the typical troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
