It was just before 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated commenting on the rugby rankings, at the ready for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Waytown and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan rental in error. The unfortunate lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things sadly can happen. She managed to get the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Dorset well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Dorset we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely do not start the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can certainly produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the rear of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Dorset to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Waytown (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill the car. They are also able to take care of the normal issues which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Waytown - Waytown Fuel Drain

Yesterday a customer contacted us soon after his Vauxhall stopped in the middle of a street in Waytown. He had by accident put the wrong fuel in his diesel car and drove to the street before needing to give up. It was still in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who stays close by, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in to the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 5 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
