Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Dorset we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And certainly don't start the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is likely to result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations pretty easily.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Dorset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Coombe Keynes (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the normal issues which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Coombe Keynes - Coombe Keynes Wrong Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing on the weekend and felt cheerful the following morning as I set off to help a young couple on vacation in Coombe Keynes. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their MINI, and the car was approximately half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady chastising her hubby for being so daft. "Precisely how could you even be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this occurs regularly in Dorset and that it's actually absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he in spite of everything got an earful. I felt sorry for the guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed good bye and thought about what my wife would do to me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
