It was before ten pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated talking over the rugby results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Silton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI hire car. She was fairly troubled apparently, stating "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my mind!

Our Fields of Specialties:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Dorset we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never switch on the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you did start the car you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances fairly simply.

You should know that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Dorset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Silton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the typical issues that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

A man called us from Silton saying he mistakenly piped petrol in to his diesel Dacia. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my nice diesel car!" It took the engineer around fifty minutes to fully drain the incorrect fuel from the car. He completely flushed the fuel system and then put clean fuel in the vehicle. The customer was completely satisfied and it didn't cost him dealer rates to get the job professionally done.
