It was after eight pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were seated discussing the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Spilsby and filled petrol in her diesel Nissan rental in error. The poor thing was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, since it was just a short distance away from us, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and a lot less anxious. Another job in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lincolnshire we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And of course take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations rather swiftly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Lincolnshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Spilsby (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will fix any of the typical problems which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Spilsby - Spilsby Fuel Drain

A couple of days ago a man contacted us after his Jaguar cut out on a street in Spilsby. He had mistakenly put unleaded in his diesel car and got so far as the road before being forced to stop. It was actually early in the morning and our engineer, who lives not far away, reached him in approximately fifteen minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, particularly at 4 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
