Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Dorset we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously don't crank the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. In case you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases rather quickly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Dorset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Gillingham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They will handle the normal issues which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Gillingham - Gillingham Wrong Fuel in Car

I enjoyed a wonderful evening fishing on my holiday and felt contented the next morning as I was on the way to help a young couple who were holidaying in Gillingham. They broken down after putting petrol into their Mercedes, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman chastising her hubby for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this happens quite frequently in Dorset and that it is nothing to stress about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good-bye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if I made the same error... I'd personally never live it down!
