It was around eight pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing there discussing the recent footy results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Hedge End and put petrol in her diesel Peugeot hire car. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from the office, we could get to her rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and less concerned. Another job in Dorset well done in my books!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Dorset we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations very quickly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Dorset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hedge End (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car. They are also able to take care of any of the typical troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
