It was just after 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Charminster and put petrol in her diesel Audi hire car. She was very irritated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was only a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could return to the motel she was residing at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Dorset well done in my opinion!

Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Dorset we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely do not start the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can certainly produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations rather expediently.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Dorset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Charminster (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up the car. They can also take care of the normal problems which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
