It was after 10 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were seated there commenting on the football results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Higher Wraxall and put petrol in her diesel Hyundai lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe position and, as it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my opinion!

Below are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Dorset we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in 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 extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can certainly lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Dorset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Higher Wraxall (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car or truck. They can also fix the usual troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Higher Wraxall - Higher Wraxall Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman had stopped just near a road in Higher Wraxall. His Lexus engine had ceased working and he'd no clue what was wrong until eventually he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten no rest the day before and that must have been precisely why.
