Before long we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Thetford and filled petrol in a diesel Chevrolet hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things sadly happen.

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Sunday and we were en route to assist an old lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat in Thetford. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and broken down along a backwater road on route to visit her godchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I got to the destination and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel since I had only just bought it a few days back right after my old car, which I'd used for over thirty years, inevitably broke down". I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a delightful Lincolnshire lady!

AdBlue Contamination
In Lincolnshire we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people not being totally sure how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.
Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.
If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely don't crank the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances quite expediently.
Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Lincolnshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we can empty it.

Fuel Drain Thetford - Thetford Petrol in Diesel
I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon golfing on my off day and felt cheerful the next day as I set out to help a young family who were on holiday in Thetford. They had stopped after putting petrol in their Toyota, and they were about half an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed while I listened to the lady telling her man off for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this situation occurs regularly in Lincolnshire and that it is nothing at all to stress about, however he still had an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I made the same blunder... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

A motorist employed in Thetford contacted us shortly after she tried to get her wrong fuelled automobile to work. She had put petrol in her diesel Nissan and, like countless before her, thought that she would be able to just fill her car with diesel and it'd run okay. The car was chugging and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain after she called and got it sorted in one hour while she was working. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely happy you repaired my vehicle."
