Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Dorset we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances quite quickly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Dorset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Manston (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the usual troubles which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Manston - Manston Vehicle Misfuel

A man phoned us from Manston to say he foolishly piped the wrong fuel in his diesel Audi. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took the technician approximately fifty minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He totally flushed the fuel system and put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to have the task professionally done.
