It was just before 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were sitting going over the footy, at the ready for the 8th job that day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Bradpole and put petrol in a diesel Vauxhall hire car by mistake. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected position and, as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and not so anxious. One more fuel drain in Dorset well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Dorset we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly do not start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases quite expediently.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Dorset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Bradpole (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the most common issues that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
