It was around 10 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were resting there talking about the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the 8th call of the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Lytchett Matravers and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar rental car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Dorset done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Dorset we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of people not being aware of how to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely do not start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In case you did start the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances very quickly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Dorset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Lytchett Matravers (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix the most common troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Lytchett Matravers - Lytchett Matravers Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a terrific day fishing on my off day and was feeling contented with myself the following working day as I was on the way to assist a new family who were holidaying in Lytchett Matravers. They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their Chevrolet, and they were about half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled while I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this occurs on a regular basis in Dorset and that it's truly nothing to fret about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved goodbye and considered what her indoors would do to me if I did the same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
