It was around ten pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were resting there going over the golf results, waiting around for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Osgodby and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda hire car by mistake. She was pretty distressed it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not understanding the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel is likely to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Lincolnshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Osgodby (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill your car or truck.
