It was after 8 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing talking about the recent footy, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Tarrant Gunville and filled petrol in her diesel Renault rental by mistake. The poor lady was pretty agitated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. One more job in Dorset done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Dorset we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And of course take care not to turn over the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will likely lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances pretty easily.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.
