It was about 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and me were resting there talking about the golf, waiting for the next call for the day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Minterne Magna and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental. The unfortunate lady was very agitated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things sadly often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could reach the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and much less stressed. Another job in Dorset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Dorset we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people not being totally sure how to to make use of (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you may probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations pretty quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Dorset to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Minterne Magna (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.

Fuel Drain Minterne Magna - Minterne Magna Wrong Fuel in Car

A couple of days ago a motorist telephoned us right after his Audi ground to a halt on a street in Minterne Magna. He had accidentally put unleaded in his diesel motor and drove as far as the street before being forced to pull up. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who lives close by, reached him in about 20 minutes. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again in the vehicle. "Genuine thanks to you for your prompt response, especially at 3 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
