It was close to 8 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Edmondsham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki hire car in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could go home to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and not so stressed. Yet another job in Dorset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Dorset we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely do not crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed in the back of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Dorset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Edmondsham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They can also fix the most common problems which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Edmondsham - Edmondsham Wrong Fuel Drain

A man had conked out just off a street in Edmondsham. His Mitsubishi engine had stopped operating and he had no clue what was awry right up until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
