It was just before seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing talking over the tennis results, at the ready for the seventh job to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Bear Cross and put petrol in a diesel Chevrolet rental in error. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably happen.

Our Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Dorset we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not being totally sure how to use it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases rather swiftly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed in the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Dorset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Bear Cross (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.

Wrong Fuel in Car Bear Cross - Bear Cross Wrong Fuel

I'd had a terrific evening cycling during my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I headed out to assist a new couple who were on vacation in Bear Cross. They had broken down after putting petrol in their SEAT, and they were about half an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed while I listened to the lady chastising her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this situation occurs frequently in Dorset and that it's actually nothing to fret about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I drained all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
