It was after 6 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated going over the tennis, prepared for the 6th job that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Alcester and put petrol in a diesel MINI lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite affected apparently, crying "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and much less concerned. A fuel drain in Dorset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Dorset we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And absolutely don't crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you did start the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will likely result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain 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 fairly expediently.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Dorset to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Alcester (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the typical issues that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Alcester - Alcester Fuel Rescue

I had a terrific evening hiking during my off day and felt contented with myself the next morning as I was en route to assist a young family away in Alcester. They stopped after putting diesel in their Mercedes, and were around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for actually being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this occurs quite frequently in Dorset and that it's truly nothing at all to worry about, but he yet still got an earful. Poor boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
