Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Dorset we have seen increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being totally sure how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course take care not to crank the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases pretty easily.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Dorset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in The Mount (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the normal problems that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist The Mount - The Mount Fuel Removal

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon fishing on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I headed out to help a new couple who were vacationing in The Mount. They had pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their Toyota, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife telling off her man for actually being so confused. "How could you even manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this takes place quite frequently in Dorset and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted farewell and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd never live it down!
