Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lincolnshire we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can certainly produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases very easily.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Wrong Fuel Drain Lade Bank - Lade Bank Fuel Removal

I'd had a fantastic afternoon hiking on my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the next working day as I set off to aid a new couple vacationing in Lade Bank. They had pulled over after putting diesel in their Volvo, and the car was around an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the lady berating her spouse for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this problem occurs quite frequently in Lincolnshire and that it's actually nothing at all to be anxious about, nonetheless he still got an ear bashing. Poor guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed good bye and considered what her indoors would ask me if I made the exact same error... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
