It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there talking over the recent footy results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Hinton Martell and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen rental. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly happen. She managed to get the car to a secure area and, since it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and much less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Dorset well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Dorset we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases pretty quickly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Dorset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Hinton Martell (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the most common troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Hinton Martell - Hinton Martell Petrol in Diesel

I enjoyed a great evening fishing on my holiday and felt delighted the next day as I set out to help a new couple away in Hinton Martell. They had conked out after adding petrol into their Toyota, and were about half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife chastising her husband for turning out to be so silly. "How could you actually manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this takes place everyday in Dorset and that it's nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I waved good bye and wondered what my missus would say to me if perhaps I made the very same error... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
