It was just after five pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were resting there discussing the recent football results, prepared for the seventh call to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Branksome and filled petrol in her diesel Honda rental by mistake. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got really wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. Yet another job in Dorset well done in my books!

Listed here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Dorset we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people being unsure of the way to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you have started the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases pretty quickly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Branksome (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will deal with any of the normal issues which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

A gentleman called us from his home on a street in Branksome. He explained, "My car (a Volkswagen) is not running and is creating terrible noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car however believed he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.

A driver who had put petrol in his diesel Volvo called us for a fuel drain at the filling station in Branksome. He decided to top up before continuing on to the nearby caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded as opposed to diesel which probably wasn't a smart way to start to our holiday break." It was really no challenge in any way for our technician to go along and do the fuel drain. We hope the family had a good getaway.
