It was before five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Henley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault hire car by mistake. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we could find the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and less stressed. A fuel drain in Dorset done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Dorset we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And of course be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In case you have started the car you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Dorset to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Henley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the standard problems that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Henley - Henley Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman called us from Henley to state that he mistakenly piped unleaded in his diesel Porsche. "Unbelievable! How could I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car!" It only took our fuel drainer roughly fifty minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. He thoroughly cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put clean diesel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to get the work professionally completed.
