It was around 9 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were relaxing talking over the football rankings, waiting around for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Walton Elm and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen rental car. The poor thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things do happen. She managed to get the car to a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to find the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and much less stressed. A fuel drain in Dorset well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Dorset we are finding a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, 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 you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Walton Elm (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and refill the car. They can also deal with the common issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Walton Elm - Walton Elm Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a great afternoon hiking on my holiday and was feeling delighted the next morning as I set out to help a young family away in Walton Elm. They conked out after putting petrol into their Mitsubishi, and were roughly an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the wife chastising her spouse for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass continuously in Dorset and that it's in reality nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I mouthed so long and thought about what her indoors would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
