It was about 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were resting talking about the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the next telephone call to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Obthorpe Lodge and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was just a few miles from our van, we could reach her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lincolnshire we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Lincolnshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Obthorpe Lodge (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car. They are also able to fix the most common issues that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Obthorpe Lodge - Obthorpe Lodge Wrong Fuel

A man phoned us from his home on a street in Obthorpe Lodge. He explained, "My vehicle (a Smart) is not starting and is making dreadful noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel car but then reckoned he would solve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained immediately.
