It was close to 5 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless day, it had not ceased raining! Paul and me were seated there talking about the recent football, ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Pinchbeck and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen lease car by mistake. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and much less worried. Another job in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise:

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Lincolnshire we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Lincolnshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Pinchbeck (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the common problems that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
