It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the tennis results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Swanage and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi hire car. She was pretty affected apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe position and, since it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and less worried. Another job in Dorset well done in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Dorset we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And definitely don't crank the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Dorset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Swanage (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Dorset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your car. They will fix any of the typical issues which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Swanage - Swanage Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman had broken down just off a road in Swanage. His Jaguar car had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was the problem right up until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten no rest the day before and that must have been the reason.
