It was close to five pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting there talking about the recent rugby rankings, ready for the sixth call to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Holme and put petrol in her diesel Dacia rental car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from the office, we could reach the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. A fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lincolnshire we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly do not start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases quite expediently.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Holme (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the usual problems that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
