It was close to ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting there going over the recent football results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in The Mount and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes hire car in error. She was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to reach her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another job in Dorset done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Dorset we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances very easily.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Dorset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in The Mount (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They can also take care of the normal troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain The Mount - The Mount Wrong Fuel

A couple of days ago a man telephoned us right after his Fiat died along a street in The Mount. He had by accident put the wrong fuel in the diesel motor and was only able to get as far as the street before needing to halt. It was still in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives nearby, was with him in less than 15 minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
