It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated there talking about the recent football rankings, ready for the 6th call that day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Swallow Beck and put petrol in a diesel Land Rover hire car in error. She was rather agitated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lincolnshire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people not knowing the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most definitely do not switch on the car - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations pretty expediently.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container laying at the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Lincolnshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Swallow Beck (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They can also take care of any of the most common troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Swallow Beck - Swallow Beck Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon cycling on my holiday and felt cheerful the next morning as I was en route to aid a young couple holidaying in Swallow Beck. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their BMW, and the car was around half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked as I heard to the girl telling off her partner for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you even manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this goes on quite frequently in Lincolnshire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I drained out all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed goodbye and considered what my wife would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally never live it down!
