It was just after 8 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were resting there going over the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Bettiscombe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was very irritated apparently, stating "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Dorset we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't start up the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will likely produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases fairly expediently.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Dorset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Bettiscombe (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They can also handle the usual troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Bettiscombe - Bettiscombe Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a great day golfing on my day off and felt satisfied with myself the next working day as I headed out to assist a new family on holiday in Bettiscombe. They had stopped after putting petrol in their Kia, and were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the girl telling off her husband for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass frequently in Dorset and that it is nothing to stress about, nevertheless he still got an earful. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove away I mouthed good-bye and considered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I'd never ever live it down!
