It was around five pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were seated there going over the tennis results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Stratton and filled petrol in a diesel Kia lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe space and, as it was only a short distance from us, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and not so concerned. One more job in Dorset done well in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Dorset we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely never start the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can certainly cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps 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 secured close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, if we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Stratton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill the car. They will be able to take care of any of the typical troubles that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Stratton - Stratton Vehicle Misfuel

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt contented the following morning as I was on the way to help a new family away in Stratton. They had pulled over after adding diesel in their Porsche, and were around an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the gal chastising her partner for being so daft. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this happens quite frequently in Dorset and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he all the same had an ear bashing. Poor chap. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove away I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what my wife would tell me if I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
