It was just before 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were sitting discussing the sports, ready for the seventh call to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Edmondsham and put petrol in a diesel Suzuki rental in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and not so worried. One more job in Dorset done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Dorset we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most definitely never turn over the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances very expediently.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Dorset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Edmondsham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your car.

Wrong Fuel Edmondsham - Edmondsham Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a perfect day hiking on my day off and was feeling pleased with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a new family on holiday in Edmondsham. They'd broken down after inserting petrol into their Nissan, and were about half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the gal berating her husband for actually being so silly. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this situation takes place everyday in Dorset and that it's really absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent by his missus. Poor boy. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would say to me if I made the same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!
