It was after 8 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the 6th job to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Long Crichel and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover rental. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure area and, because it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the lady right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Dorset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Dorset we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course do not crank the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Dorset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.
