It was around 7 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were sitting there talking over the footy, prepared for the next job to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Alton Pancras and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen lease car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in Dorset done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Provide:

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do if you have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue is definitely damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will be pulled into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing catastrophic and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases quite swiftly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Dorset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Alton Pancras (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle the common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
