It was close to 6 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were seated talking over the tennis, ready for the 6th call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Maltby and filled petrol in a diesel Volvo lease car in error. The poor thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at.

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lincolnshire we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important matter to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can easily cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Lincolnshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

We are able to get out to fill up the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.

Vehicle Misfuel Maltby - Maltby Fuel Removal

I'd had a fantastic evening fishing on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I set out to help a new family on vacation in Maltby. They'd broken down after adding petrol into their Citroen, and were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled while I heard to the woman telling her partner off for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this happens on daily basis in Lincolnshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and considered what my wife would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
