Our Areas of Specialties:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Dorset we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely never crank the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases very easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in Dorset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Lytchett Matravers (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your car. They can also take care of the standard problems which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lytchett Matravers - Lytchett Matravers Fuel Rescue

I had appreciated a wonderful afternoon cycling on my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the next morning as I was on the way to help a young family who were away in Lytchett Matravers. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel in their Volkswagen, and the car was roughly an hour away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl berating her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you even be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this situation goes on regularly in Dorset and that it's in reality nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the same error... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
