Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can fix any associated problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Dorset we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And absolutely take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank may well lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Dorset for the purpose of draining 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. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Hedge End (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will fix the usual problems that may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
