It was just before seven pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were relaxing there discussing the sports results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Wharton and put petrol in a diesel Renault rental by mistake. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from people not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is likely to produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Lincolnshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Wharton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the usual issues that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Wharton - Wharton Petrol in Diesel

A while back a young man contacted us just after his Land Rover broke down in the middle of a street in Wharton. He had by mistake put petrol in his diesel car and got so far as the street before being forced to pull over. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who lives not far away, reached him in about 10 minutes. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your timely response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I really appreciate it."
