Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Dorset we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly caused by people being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And obviously take care not to start the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty swiftly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container placed in the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Dorset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Fuel Removal Higher Bockhampton - Higher Bockhampton Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a terrific evening cycling on my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I was on the way to assist a young couple on holiday in Higher Bockhampton. They had broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their Smart, and were close to an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smiled while I heard to the woman chastising her partner for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this occurs everyday in Dorset and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, however he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Poor guy. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted good bye and considered what my wife would say to me if ever I made the same blunder... I would personally never hear the end of it!
