It was about 5 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing discussing the footy, ready for the seventh job to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Norwood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental car. The poor lady was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things happen. She managed to get the car into a protected area and, as it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Dorset done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Dorset we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you discover youself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank may well cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations very easily.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Dorset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Norwood (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the standard issues that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
