It was close to 8 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting there going over the recent golf results, at the ready for the seventh job that day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Leigh and filled petrol in a diesel SEAT rental. She was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and a lot less anxious. A misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Dorset we are discovering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of people being unsure of how to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Dorset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Leigh (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your car. They can also handle any of the common problems that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
