Services We Deliver:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Dorset we have found increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously do not turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can certainly trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations rather quickly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Dorset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Christchurch (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill the car. They can also fix the most common issues which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Christchurch - Christchurch Fuel Drain

I appreciated a fantastic evening hiking on my off day and felt cheerful the following day as I was en route to help a young couple on vacation in Christchurch. They had stopped after filling diesel in their Smart, and the car was about half an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl telling off her husband for actually being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this situation happens constantly in Dorset and that it's actually absolutely nothing to fret about, however he still had an earful by his better half. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
