It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting talking about the sports rankings, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Higher Bockhampton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia lease car in error. She was pretty affected apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to get to the customer quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at.

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Dorset we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially due to people being unsure of how to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In case you did start the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances rather swiftly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container laying at the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Higher Bockhampton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the typical troubles which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Higher Bockhampton - Higher Bockhampton Vehicle Misfuel

Yesterday a gentleman contacted us just after his Volvo stopped working along a street in Higher Bockhampton. He had inadvertently put the incorrect fuel in his diesel motor and was only able to get as far as the road before being forced to give up. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives not far away, reached him in about a quarter hour. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, especially at 1 a.m., I am grateful for it."
