It was after 7 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were resting commenting on the sports rankings, waiting for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Trusthorpe and put petrol in her diesel BMW rental car. She was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe area and, because it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can fix any related problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lincolnshire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not understanding how to use it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases quite quickly.

Take note that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Trusthorpe (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the usual issues which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
