It was close to eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! James and I were seated there discussing the rugby results, prepared for the sixth job of the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Fosdyke and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda lease car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to get the car into a secure area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

Services We Provide:

Below are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lincolnshire we have found a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly don't turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases very easily.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Lincolnshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Fosdyke (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill the car. They are also able to take care of the usual issues which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Fosdyke - Fosdyke Fuel Removal

I appreciated a perfect day fishing on my holiday and felt contented with myself the next working day as I was on the way to help a young couple on vacation in Fosdyke. They had conked out after adding diesel in their Mitsubishi, and the car was around half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the woman telling her husband off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this happens everyday in Lincolnshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he yet still got an earful by his better half. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed good-bye and wondered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the very same error... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
