It was about six pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there discussing the tennis results, ready for the sixth job for the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Sutton St James and filled petrol in a diesel Honda lease car in error. She was somewhat affected it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, since it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and much less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Lincolnshire we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not being aware of how to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may well bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations fairly swiftly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Sutton St James (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They can also fix any of the standard issues which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Sutton St James - Sutton St James Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman had stopped near a road in Sutton St James. His Land Rover motor had ceased running and he'd no clue what was the problem until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got virtually no rest the evening before and that could have been the reason.
