It was after 5 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting talking about the golf, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Hinton Martell and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. The poor lady was very troubled it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Dorset done well in my mind!

Services We Deliver:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Dorset we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will often produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances very swiftly.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Dorset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Hinton Martell (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car. They will be able to handle any of the standard problems which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Hinton Martell - Hinton Martell Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer had stopped just near a road in Hinton Martell. His Smart motor had stopped running and he had no clue what was faulty until he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero sleep the day before and that must have been the reason.
