Services We Deliver:
Listed below are our top services we give to our clients.
AdBlue Contamination
In Dorset we have found increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the car.
Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.
Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle every type of AdBlue contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank may well lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.
Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Dorset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.
Out of Fuel Support
Run out of fuel in Leigh (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill the car. They will be able to fix any of the usual problems that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Leigh
Below are opinions and cases of fuel drains we've performed in Leigh:
We fairly recently had a call from a businessman who had put the incorrect fuel in his Kia in Leigh. He had broken down on the street. "It was unbelievable how fast you were in sending someone out to help me when I foolishly filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you". It goes without saying that we showed up promptly and purged the engine after flushing all of the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived our engineer said the client was raging, but was really happy when we finished.
Wrong Fuel Leigh - Leigh Wrong Fuel Assist
A young lady from Leigh with her kids in her diesel Hyundai had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She phoned us crying and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that all should be fine and that she would be back on the road quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the youngsters in the back."
