It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were sitting talking over the recent golf rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Chalbury Common and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault hire car in error. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to move the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at her right away. The bad fuel was drained so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. Yet another job in Dorset done well in my opinion!

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Dorset we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And of course don't start the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances quite easily.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Dorset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Chalbury Common (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the most common issues that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Chalbury Common - Chalbury Common Fuel Drain

A person rang us from his residence on a road in Chalbury Common. He said, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not starting up and is making very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be sure to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
