It was close to 7 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Dan and me were seated there commenting on the recent sports rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Trusthorpe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen hire car. She was fairly troubled apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and much less worried. Another job in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly don't start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you have started the car you may likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol may result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Lincolnshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, if we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Trusthorpe (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will deal with the common issues which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
