Wrong fuel in your car or bike in Christchurch? Welcome to WrongFuelSoS.com. Call us and find out how we can aid you to get you back on the road again.

It was about eight pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were seated there discussing the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Christchurch and filled petrol in her diesel Nissan rental by mistake. She was rather distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and not so anxious. One more misfuel correction in Dorset done well in my books!

Services We Give:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Dorset we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not understanding how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations rather expediently.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Dorset to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Christchurch (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill the car. They are also able to take care of the standard problems that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Christchurch - Christchurch Wrong Fuel

A man called us from Christchurch to state that he piped the wrong fuel into his diesel Mazda. "Unbelievable! I can't believe I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took the engineer approximately 50 minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel from the vehicle. He thoroughly cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to have the task properly done.
