It was around 9 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting going over the sports rankings, waiting around for the next call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Dragonby and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai rental in error. She was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car into a secure space and, as it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to find her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and much less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely be careful not to crank the car - not even to move it away from the pump. If you have started the car you would likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may well trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations very simply.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Dragonby (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will be able to handle any of the usual troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
