It was just after six pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's football, at the ready for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Coombe and filled petrol in a diesel Dacia rental car. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to find her without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and less anxious. Yet another job in Dorset well done in my opinion!

What a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Wednesday and we were on my way to assist an older woman after she had put petrol in her diesel Mercedes in Coombe. I had been advised she had left the filling station and broken down on a country lane on the way to see her godchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel as I had only purchased it a couple of days ago when my old one, which I had used for over 30 years, inevitably died". I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Dorset woman!

Our Fields of Expertise:

We are ready to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Dorset we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container laying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Dorset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Coombe (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to fix the normal problems that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Coombe

A number of the usual troubles we get from many of our specialists in Coombe:

We recently had a call about a guy who had put the wrong fuel in his SEAT in Coombe. He had come to a stand-still on the road. "I couldn't believe how fast you guys were in sending a fuel drainer out to help me after I mistakenly unleaded in my diesel car. Thank you". Naturally we arrived on the scene punctually and flushed the engine after flushing the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival our technician said the motorist was scowling, but was pleased when we finished.

This was what we call the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and noone was about. It had been quite quiet up to now, and Paul and I were sitting perusing a couple of old magazines. That was an uncommon peaceful hour in Dorset. Actually it was in fact so calm that when the phone ultimately rang I jumped! The person on the other end told me: "I have just completed my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a Suzuki". We instructed him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we hit the road, getting to him in Coombe not as much as an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he said thanks a lot for getting there so quickly. As we were going back home we noticed two young women at the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their delight.
