Our Areas of Expertise :

Listed below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Dorset we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases rather quickly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Dorset for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Ham Common (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the typical problems that may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
