Petrol in your diesel car in Dorchester? Welcome to WrongFuelSoS.com. Give us a call and find out how we can assist you to get you up and running again.

It was just before five pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were sitting talking over the rugby, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Dorchester and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar hire car in error. She was quite distressed it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, as it was only a short distance from our van, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and not so stressed. One more misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Dorset we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by people not being aware of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly never crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Dorset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Dorchester (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They can also handle the common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
