It was around 6 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were sitting there talking about the recent football, waiting for the 8th call to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Drimpton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet lease car by mistake. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe area and, as it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to find her right away. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and less worried. Another fuel drain in Dorset done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Dorset we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being totally sure how to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly do not crank the car - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank may well cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Dorset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Drimpton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill the car. They can also fix the usual troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Drimpton - Drimpton Wrong Fuel Assist

A guy had stopped just off a road in Drimpton. His Ford engine had ceased working and he had no clue what was faulty right up until he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the day before and that must have been precisely why.
