It was after 7 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting talking about the sports rankings, prepared for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Horn Ash and put the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW lease car. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we could get to her swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Dorset we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of people not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely do not switch on the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank in the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Dorset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Horn Ash (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will deal with any of the usual troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
