It was about 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and me were relaxing talking over the recent golf results, prepared for the next fuel drain to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in North End and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen lease car. She was rather irritated apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. One more job in Dorset well done in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Dorset we have found progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. In case you have started the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances quite quickly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Dorset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in North End (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your automobile. They are also able to deal with the standard problems which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
