It was after 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and me were resting discussing the weekend's golf, prepared for the 6th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Charminster and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda rental in error. She was pretty affected it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Dorset done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do in case you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is composed of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%).It is actually devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, bringing about devastating and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course never start the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may well bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Dorset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Charminster (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will handle any of the most common problems that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
