It was before 8 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and me were resting there talking over the sports rankings, waiting for the seventh call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in East Stoke and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things do happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure space and, as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could get to the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Dorset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Dorset we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never crank the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases quite quickly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container laying at the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Dorset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in East Stoke (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill the car. They can also fix any of the typical problems that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
