It was just after 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! James and I were resting discussing the recent sports rankings, ready for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Puncknowle and put petrol in her diesel MG rental in error. The poor lady was quite affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure area and, because it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could get to the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and not so worried. Another job in Dorset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Dorset we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly take care not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, providing we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Fuel Removal Puncknowle - Puncknowle Fuel Removal

A gentleman contacted us from his home on a road in Puncknowle. He said, "My vehicle (a Peugeot) is not starting up and is creating terrible noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us he would be sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
