It was just after seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were sitting talking about the footy rankings, ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Bay and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai lease car by mistake. She was rather distressed apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure position and, as it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and much less stressed. A fuel drain in Dorset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Dorset we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can easily cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Dorset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Bay (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your car. They can also handle the standard issues which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Bay - Bay Vehicle Misfuel

A man had conked out just off a street in Bay. His Jaguar motor had stopped operating and he had no idea what was awry until eventually he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got no sleep the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
