It was just after 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there commenting on the rugby rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Thorpe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to get the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from the office, we could get to her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Lincolnshire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination
In Lincolnshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the vehicle.
Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.
If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances quite swiftly.
Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Lincolnshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.
