It was just after seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing commenting on the weekend's football results, waiting around for the seventh job of the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Stoborough and put petrol in her diesel Lexus lease car. She was pretty affected it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at.

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Dorset we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people not understanding the way to to make use of (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course do not turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Dorset to deal with removing 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 a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Stoborough (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They can also handle any of the usual troubles which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Stoborough - Stoborough Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a great evening hiking on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I set off to aid a new family who were away in Stoborough. They stopped after inserting diesel in their Ford, and they were around half an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady telling off her partner for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this problem comes to pass continuously in Dorset and that it's nothing at all to worry about, nevertheless he yet still got an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my missus would tell me if ever I made the same blunder... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
