It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and me were seated discussing the footy results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Colsterworth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure space and, because it was just a few miles away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Lincolnshire we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you end up in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol will likely produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations pretty quickly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Wrong Fuel in Car Colsterworth - Colsterworth Fuel Drain

A guy had conked out near a street in Colsterworth. His Peugeot motor had stopped running and he'd no idea what was faulty until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got absolutely no sleep the day before and that could have been precisely why.
