It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Mark and me were seated there talking over the recent sports results, at the ready for the seventh call that day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Clapgate and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental. The poor lady was rather troubled apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and much less worried. One more misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

Below are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Dorset we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may well cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases very easily.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Dorset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Clapgate (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the typical problems that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Clapgate - Clapgate Fuel Rescue

A man rang us from his house on a street in Clapgate. He said, "My vehicle (a Smart) is not starting up and is producing awful sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would solve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be certain to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained right away.
