Wrong Fuel in Car Portland - Portland Fuel Drain

A customer rang us from his house on a close in Portland. He said, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not starting and is producing awful sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He told us he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Dorset we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously take care not to start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Dorset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Portland (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car. They are also able to take care of any of the most common problems which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.


Vehicle Misfuel Portland - Portland Wrong Fuel

I had a fantastic afternoon golfing on my day off and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I set off to help a young family who were holidaying in Portland. They'd broken down after inserting petrol in their Jaguar, and the car was about half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so daft. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass constantly in Dorset and that it is nothing at all to stress about, and yet he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I drained all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and thought about what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Portland

Listed below are comments and cases of contaminated fuel removal we've completed in Portland:

I am not very keen on carrying out work on weekends, and last week was no different. I'd only just left home after having a magnificent dinner prepared by the wife, and I was off to sort out a gentleman after he put the incorrect fuel in his Audi. He was situated in Portland and so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I had my attention on other things and failed to grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on any kind of harm by simply starting it?" I said that truth be told there probably should not be harm and that I would get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and so one more happy customer was able to continue on his journey without the need for bother. The guy did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what can make operating on Sundays in Dorset just a little bit easier for me personally!

Fuel Drain Portland - Portland Wrong Fuel Drain

A young lady from Portland with her kids in her diesel MINI had filled her car with £50 of petrol at the BP service station. She called us crying and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that all would be fine and that she would be back up and running soon. When we arrived she was visible distressed but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the kids in the back."
