We're just a phone call away.

It was just before 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated there talking about the weekend's sports rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Shapwick and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes lease car. The poor lady was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and less worried. Yet another job in Dorset well done in my books!

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Dorset we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly never start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will often produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances very expediently.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Dorset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Shapwick (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will handle any of the standard problems which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Shapwick - Shapwick Vehicle Misfuel

Last friday a gentleman phoned us soon after his Skoda died on a road in Shapwick. He had by mistake put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle and was only able to drive to the street before being forced to pull up. It was still in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who stays locally, arrived with him in about 20 minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, particularly at 1 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
