It was just before 7 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Wigbeth and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental car. The unfortunate thing was pretty irritated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from our van, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Dorset done well in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Dorset we have found more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of people not understanding how to use it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't turn over the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can certainly trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances quite quickly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container laying in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Wigbeth (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill the car. They can also fix any of the standard problems which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
