It was close to six pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting talking about the weekend's golf, waiting for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Caundle Marsh and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki rental car in error. The poor lady was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to move the car to a safe space and, as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could get to her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at.

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Dorset we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously never start the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Take note that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Dorset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Caundle Marsh (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They can also take care of the most common problems that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
