It was close to six pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! James and me were seated there talking over the recent tennis, waiting around for the next job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Lytchett Matravers and filled petrol in her diesel Porsche hire car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Dorset done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Dorset we have noticed a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find yourself in this predicament don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank may well trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations quite easily.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Dorset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Lytchett Matravers (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car. They will deal with the normal problems which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A motorist had broken down just off a street in Lytchett Matravers. His MG engine had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was awry until eventually he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten virtually no sleep the day before and that must have been the reason.
