It was about 5 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not ceased pouring! Mark and me were sitting there talking over the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the 6th job to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Clapgate and put petrol in her diesel Renault lease car by mistake. The poor thing was quite distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was only a short distance from us, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home calm and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Dorset done well in my mind!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do if you?ve put Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mix of high-purity ionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).Adblue tends to be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely never crank the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases fairly simply.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Dorset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Clapgate (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up the car. They are also able to deal with any of the normal issues which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A gentleman phoned us from Clapgate saying he had piped petrol into his diesel Fiat. "What a pain! I can't believe I put petrol in my lovely diesel car!"
