It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were seated discussing the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the next call to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Grimsby and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was very affected apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly can happen. She managed to get the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and not so worried. A fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Lincolnshire we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not understanding the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can potentially result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container laying at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Lincolnshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Grimsby (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your automobile. They can also fix any of the usual troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
