It was close to eight pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing there going over the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the sixth job that day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Kingsland and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental car. The poor lady was quite troubled apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach her quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home calm and less worried. One more job in Dorset done well in my books!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

In Dorset we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by people not being totally sure the right way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases pretty easily.

You should know though that whenever 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 wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container placed at the back of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Dorset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Kingsland (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the standard problems that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
