It was after 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting there talking over the recent football results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Hillbutts and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki hire car. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected space and, as it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to find her rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my mind!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Dorset we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank in the back of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Dorset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Hillbutts (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They will handle the most common troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
