It was just after 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were sitting there going over the weekend's football, waiting around for the 8th call that day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Fortuneswell and put petrol in her diesel Skoda hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things can happen. She managed to move the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from us, we could get to her quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Dorset we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you find yourself in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances very quickly.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container lying at the back of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Fortuneswell (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to refill the car. They will fix the usual troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Fortuneswell - Fortuneswell Fuel Drain

A gentleman called us from his home on a street in Fortuneswell. He exclaimed, "My car (a Volvo) is not starting up and is generating terrible noises when I flip the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then reckoned he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
