It was just before 8 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting there going over the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Littlemoor and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental in error. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and a lot less worried. One more misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Dorset we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not knowing the way to use it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can potentially produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases fairly expediently.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Dorset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Littlemoor (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to refill your car. They are also able to deal with the usual issues that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Littlemoor - Littlemoor Fuel Drain

Last monday a young man telephoned us when his Volvo stopped along a road in Littlemoor. He had inadvertently put petrol in his diesel car and was only able to get so far as the road before having to give up. It was still in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays locally, was with him in about 10 minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your fast response, particularly at 3 a.m., I appreciate it."
