It was before 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and me were relaxing there discussing the sports rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Holt Wood and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW lease car. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things sadly happen. She was able to get the car to a secure space and, because it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Dorset well done in my opinion!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Dorset we have noticed more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Should you end up in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the technical competence and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will often produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations fairly swiftly.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Dorset for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Holt Wood (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will handle the normal issues which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
