It was close to seven pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting talking over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Holton le Clay and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental car. The poor lady was pretty affected apparently, crying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was only a short distance from where we were, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. A misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lincolnshire we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can certainly trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Fuel Removal Holton le Clay - Holton le Clay Fuel Removal

I'd had a terrific day golfing during my off day and felt delighted with myself the next day as I set off to help a young couple on holiday in Holton le Clay. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol into their Hyundai, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this problem happens constantly in Lincolnshire and that it is nothing to stress about, nevertheless he all the same had his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I waved farewell and wondered what my wife would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
