It was before 5 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting talking about the rugby, waiting for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Belnie and filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall hire car in error. She was fairly affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Lincolnshire we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely do not start the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Lincolnshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Belnie (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill the car. They will be able to handle the most common troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Belnie - Belnie Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon fishing during my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the following day as I headed out to help a new couple vacationing in Belnie. They broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and the car was approximately half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs on a regular basis in Lincolnshire and that it is nothing to be anxious about, but he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
