It was about 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated there going over the weekend's football, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Knapp Hill and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi hire car in error. She was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly happen. She managed to get the car into a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. Yet another job in Dorset done well in my opinion!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it if you have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? It can be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you started the car with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, leading to devastating and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously be careful not to crank the motor - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Dorset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Knapp Hill - Knapp Hill Fuel Removal

I had a wonderful afternoon golfing during the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I was en route to assist a young family vacationing in Knapp Hill. They stopped after adding diesel into their Lexus, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the girl berating her hubby for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing goes on all the time in Dorset and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and wondered what my missus would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
