AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we have encountered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most definitely don't start the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases very swiftly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container lying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Grantham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill the car. They can also deal with any of the most common issues that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Grantham - Grantham Wrong Fuel

Last friday a driver telephoned us right after his Volvo died along a road in Grantham. He had inadvertently put unleaded in his diesel motor and got so far as the street before being forced to give up. It was still early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives not far away, got to him in approximately 15 minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your fast response, especially at 2 a.m., I truly appreciate it."

Recent Fuel Drains in Grantham

Several of the typical details we pick up from the engineers in Grantham:

We not too long ago received a phone call from a man who had put the incorrect fuel in his Volvo in Grantham. He had broken down on the road. "I was surprised at how rapid you people were in getting a technician out to help me when I foolishly petrol in my diesel. Thank you ever so much". Naturally we arrived on the scene rapidly and purged the engine after flushing the petrol from the diesel tank. When he arrived the fuel drainer said the client was scowling, but was grinning his face off when we finished.

Wrong Fuel Drain Grantham - Grantham Vehicle Misfuel

A customer from Grantham with a full car of little ones in her diesel Peugeot had put £45 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She called us crying and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that the vehicle should be okay and that she would be back in action soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the kids on board."
