Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Dorset we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And certainly don't start the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel may result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Dorset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Frome St Quintin (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.

They will fix the normal problems that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
