It was just after five pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were sitting there going over the tennis results, waiting around for the next job to come in. Eventually we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in East Lulworth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo rental car by mistake. She was rather distressed it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and less stressed.

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Dorset we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously take care not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations rather simply.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Dorset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in East Lulworth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the most common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
