It was after 10 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting there going over the football results, waiting around for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Radipole and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental by mistake. She was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected position and, since it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and not so stressed. A fuel drain in Dorset well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Dorset we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not being aware of the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations very expediently.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Dorset to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Radipole (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with the most common troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Radipole - Radipole Vehicle Misfuel

A while back a man called us soon after his Land Rover ground to a halt on a road in Radipole. He had unintentionally put the wrong fuel in the diesel car and got to the road before needing to halt. It was early in the morning and our engineer, who lives nearby, got to him in approximately 10 minutes. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, particularly at 3 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
