It was close to 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Mark and me were sitting talking about the recent golf, waiting for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Hannah and put petrol in her diesel Lexus rental car in error. She was quite agitated apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this often happen. She managed to get the car to a safe space and, as it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and less stressed. A fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Lincolnshire we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely do not start the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can potentially contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Lincolnshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Hannah (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They can also fix any of the standard issues which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hannah - Hannah Wrong Fuel in Car

A person rang us from his house on a street in Hannah. He said, "My car (a Smart) is not starting up and is making dreadful sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would solve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He said after that he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
