It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were sitting there discussing the tennis results, at the ready for the seventh job that day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in North Bockhampton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki rental. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to find her quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and not so anxious. A job in Dorset well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Dorset we have seen increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not being aware of how to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will likely bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases quite quickly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Dorset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in North Bockhampton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the usual troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
