It was before 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated there going over the golf rankings, prepared for the 8th job for the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Barholm and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo rental car in error. She was rather affected apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected spot and, as it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to find her quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lincolnshire we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of people not knowing the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And most definitely be careful not to start the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol may well cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations fairly simply.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Barholm (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car. They can also handle any of the common troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Barholm - Barholm Vehicle Misfuel

A customer had broken down just off a street in Barholm. His Kia engine had ceased running and he had no idea what was awry right up until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten no rest the day before and that must have been why.
