It was around 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were relaxing talking about the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Sleaford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and much less worried. Yet another job in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Lincolnshire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And of course never switch on the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations very simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Lincolnshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Sleaford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will fix the normal issues which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
