Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Hillbutts

It was before 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were relaxing there going over the rugby results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Hillbutts and filled petrol in her diesel Renault hire car in error. The poor thing was pretty agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. Another fuel drain in Dorset well done in my books!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All around Dorset we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you end up in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will often lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases very simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Dorset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Hillbutts (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up the car. They will fix the usual problems which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
