It was around 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were seated commenting on the weekend's sports results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Addlethorpe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home relaxed and less apprehensive. Another job in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Lincolnshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously don't turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to numerous 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 remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

We can get out to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your car or truck.

Wrong Fuel Assist Addlethorpe - Addlethorpe Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a perfect evening golfing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied the following day as I set out to assist a new family who were holidaying in Addlethorpe. They had broken down after adding petrol into their Volkswagen, and they were approximately half an hour away. I arrived at their position and laughed while I listened to the girl berating her man for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this situation occurs on a regular basis in Lincolnshire and that it's actually nothing at all to worry about, but he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved farewell and wondered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!
