It was just after 8 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated there talking about the weekend's football, waiting for the seventh call that day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Horton Heath and put petrol in her diesel BMW lease car. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could find the customer quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and less stressed. Yet another job in Dorset well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Dorset we are discovering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And most certainly be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will often lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases fairly quickly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container in the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Dorset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Horton Heath (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of any of the normal troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Horton Heath - Horton Heath Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman called us from Horton Heath to state that he unfortunately pumped the wrong fuel in his diesel BMW. "What a fool! How could I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took our engineer roughly 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel from the car. He completely flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to have the work properly completed.
