Our Fields of Specialties:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Dorset we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being aware of the way to to make use of (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to turn over the car - not even to move it into a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations very quickly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container lying at the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Clapgate (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the standard problems which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Clapgate - Clapgate Fuel Drain

A customer contacted us from his home on a street in Clapgate. He said, "My vehicle (a Skoda) is not running and is making dreadful sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
