Our Areas of Competence :

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Dorset we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. If you have started the car you may probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations fairly simply.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Dorset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Shapwick (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the most common issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
