It was just after 7 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and me were seated talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Preston and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying in.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in the event that you?ve poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is composed of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water.It can be harmful to your car's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will be pushed into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Dorset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Preston (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your vehicle. They can also take care of the most common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Preston - Preston Vehicle Misfuel

A person phoned us from Preston to state that he had mistakenly piped unleaded in his diesel Volkswagen. "Shocking! How could I put petrol in my diesel car!" It only took our engineer about fifty minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel out of the vehicle. He completely flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to have the work properly done.
