It was around 7 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting going over the recent sports results, waiting around for the seventh job that day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Higher Wraxall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki lease car. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from the office, we could find her rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Dorset we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can easily bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations quite simply.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container at the back of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Dorset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Higher Wraxall (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the standard issues which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
