It was about seven pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated commenting on the recent rugby rankings, prepared for the sixth call to come in. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Haddington and put petrol in her diesel Land Rover hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly affected apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things can happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure space and, as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could get to the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in.

Our Areas of Competency :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

In Lincolnshire we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. If you did start the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is going to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases pretty easily.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container at the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Lincolnshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Haddington (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car. They can also deal with any of the common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Haddington - Haddington Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out off a road in Haddington. His Audi motor had ceased running and he had no clue what was the problem until eventually he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten very little rest the day before and that could have been why.
