It was just after eight pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting discussing the football, at the ready for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Wonston and put the wrong fuel in her diesel grass green Fiat Multipla rental. The poor thing was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure position and, since it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach her right away. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and less worried. One more job in Dorset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel
Throughout Dorset we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not understanding the way to use it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the car.
Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?
Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course be careful not to start the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Contact us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and we were en route to help an elder woman who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel mint condition Mazda B-Series Plus in Wonston. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was stranded in a country road en route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched in the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "Now I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel since I'd only just acquired it a short while back right after my other car, which I'd had for in excess of twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the job and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Dorset lady!

This was certainly what we call the night shift. It was close to dawn and noone was stirring. It was quite dead thus far, and me and Ryan were sitting about perusing a few old magazines. It was a rare peaceful time in Dorset. Actually it was that peaceful that when the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The person said: "I only just finished my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in the yellow BMW Z4 by mistake". I asked him to inform us exactly where the car was and we hit the road, ending up in Wonston not as much as 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He thanked us profusely for coming so promptly. As we were returning to the depot we noticed two young ladies at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

- How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
- Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
- Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
