It was before 9 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were relaxing going over the recent golf rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Humberston Fitties and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia lease car. The poor lady was rather affected apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could arrive at the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the hotel she was living in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Lincolnshire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank in the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Lincolnshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Humberston Fitties (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They will fix any of the common problems which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Humberston Fitties - Humberston Fitties Wrong Fuel in Car

A man phoned us from Humberston Fitties to say he unfortunately piped the wrong fuel in to his diesel Vauxhall. "Unbelievable! How could I put the wrong fuel in my lovely diesel car!" It took the engineer roughly 50 minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel from the vehicle. He meticulously purged the fuel system and then put fresh diesel in the car. The customer was thrilled and it didn't cost him dealer prices to have the job properly performed.
