It was just before 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were resting talking about the tennis results, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Sherford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda lease car in error. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to move the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Dorset well done in my opinion!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Dorset we have noticed a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not being totally sure how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to address in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can certainly bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances very quickly.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Dorset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Sherford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up your car. They will take care of any of the most common problems which might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Sherford - Sherford Fuel Rescue

A man phoned us from Sherford saying he pumped unleaded in his diesel Skoda. "Shocking! I can't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car!" It took our engineer around 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He thoroughly purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it didn't cost him car dealership rates to have the task professionally performed.
