It was close to seven pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing going over the recent footy rankings, prepared for the 6th call that day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Lower Blandford St Mary and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot lease car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at.

Our Areas of Competency :

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Dorset we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously do not start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Dorset to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we can drain it.
