It was around 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were seated going over the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Walcot and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen hire car. The poor thing was fairly distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got very drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and much less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Drain Walcot - Walcot Wrong Fuel Doctor

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Wednesday and I was on my way to help an older lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW in Walcot. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and was pulled up in a rural road on route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour or so. I reached the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she told me, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I had just bought it a few days ago after my former car, which I had owned for over 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely Lincolnshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Walcot - Walcot Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a great evening fishing during my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I set off to help a new family who were on holiday in Walcot. They broken down after inserting diesel in their Mercedes, and were about half an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed as I heard to the girl berating her hubby for being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass continuously in Lincolnshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, however he still got an ear bashing. Poor chap. Anyhow, I drained the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove away I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

Our Areas of Competency :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lincolnshire we have noticed more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may well contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank placed in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Lincolnshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Walcot (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car. They can also fix any of the common issues that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

We did a wrong fuel removal exercise near a lovely property in Walcot not so long ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to nearly arrive at home when my car broke down." Our technician went out, regardless that it was fairly late at night, and carried out a full fuel drain and purge on the Lexus to everyone's satisfaction.

Fuel Removal Walcot - Walcot Wrong Fuel Assist

A young lady from Walcot with her kids in her diesel Dacia had put £30 of petrol at the BP service station. She contacted us crying and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what could happen to her car . We assured her that everything should be okay and that she would be up and running quickly. When we got there she was visible distressed but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the kids in the back."
