This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Dorset we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not knowing how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And of course never start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can potentially result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Dorset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Pilsdon (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will deal with the normal issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Pilsdon - Pilsdon Vehicle Misfuel

A week ago a man called us because his Mercedes broke down in the middle of a road in Pilsdon. He had by accident put petrol in the diesel motor and got so far as the street before needing to halt. It was really early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides close by, got to him in less than 15 minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I really appreciate it."
