It was just before eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were seated talking over the football results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Frognall and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan lease car in error. She was pretty affected apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, as it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could arrive at the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could get back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't switch on the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol is going to produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances very quickly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying in the back of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Lincolnshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Frognall (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will deal with the standard issues that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Frognall - Frognall Wrong Fuel

A man called us from Frognall to say he had unfortunately piped unleaded in his diesel Dacia. "What a pain! How could I put unleaded in my beautiful diesel car!" It only took our technician about fifty minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He completely flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put clean fuel in the car. The customer was happy and it hadn't cost him dealership prices to get the work professionally completed.
