It was before 6 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were sitting talking over the football results, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Askerswell and filled petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi rental. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could reach her quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Dorset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Dorset we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not understanding the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you get in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical expertise and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Dorset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Askerswell (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the typical problems that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Askerswell - Askerswell Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon fishing during my off day and felt cheerful the next working day as I set off to help a young family holidaying in Askerswell. They had conked out after filling diesel into their Kia, and they were close to half an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the woman berating her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on frequently in Dorset and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I waved farewell and considered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
