It was around 10 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were seated there going over the recent footy results, ready for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Higher Melcombe and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI lease car. She was pretty distressed it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Dorset done well in my opinion!

Fuel Removal Higher Melcombe - Higher Melcombe Wrong Fuel Doctor

A lady had conked out on a road, Higher Melcombe having just misfueled. She was weeping and quite troubled as she had put £45 of petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we made an effort to calm her as well as we could, reassuring her that it would be fine. When we arrived with her she was no longer aggrieved and was fascinated in observing our engineer complete the fuel drain on her Fiat. Later on she said: "My car is like my baby, I just got it so it truly worried me that I had put such a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm terribly pleased that it was so easily repairable."

Services We Provide:

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Dorset we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely never crank the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can certainly trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations quite easily.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Dorset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Higher Melcombe (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car. They are also able to deal with the standard troubles that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
