It was just after 9 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated there talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Shapwick and put petrol in a diesel Toyota hire car by mistake. The poor lady was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. One more misfuel correction in Dorset done well in my mind!

Services We Deliver:

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you?ve poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? It is actually damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

Contact us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances quite quickly.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Dorset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Shapwick (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to handle any of the common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Shapwick - Shapwick Wrong Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a terrific day fishing on my off day and felt delighted the following working day as I was on the way to help a young couple who were vacationing in Shapwick. They conked out after adding petrol in their Renault, and they were close to an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed as I listened to the gal berating her husband for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs all the time in Dorset and that it's nothing to be concerned about, however he yet still got his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I waved hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
