It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent sports rankings, prepared for the sixth job for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Meyrick Park and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Honda rental car in error. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and not so concerned. One more misfuel correction in Dorset done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Dorset we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely be careful not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will often bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Dorset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Meyrick Park (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and refill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the typical issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
