It was around 10 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were resting there talking over the recent golf rankings, ready for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Hawthorpe and put petrol in her diesel Ford rental. She was fairly agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from the office, we could reach the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could get back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. Another job in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Lincolnshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Lincolnshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hawthorpe (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill the car. They will deal with the usual issues that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hawthorpe - Hawthorpe Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a great afternoon hiking on my day off and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I set out to assist a young couple who were away in Hawthorpe. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol into their Renault, and they were approximately an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the lady telling off her husband for being so daft. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this goes on quite frequently in Lincolnshire and that it is nothing to stress about, however he still had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky boy. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved good-bye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
