It was about ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated there discussing the weekend's footy results, ready for the sixth call for the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Coldharbour and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental. The poor lady was rather troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Dorset well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Dorset we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will likely lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases rather simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Dorset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Coldharbour (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up the car. They can also deal with the common troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Coldharbour - Coldharbour Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon golfing on the weekend and felt contented the next morning as I was en route to assist a new couple holidaying in Coldharbour. They'd conked out after inserting diesel in their Skoda, and they were approximately an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled as I listened to the lady chastising her man for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing takes place quite frequently in Dorset and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, but he all the same had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed goodbye and considered what my missus would say to me in the event that I did the same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
