It was before 8 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing there commenting on the tennis, waiting for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Moulton and filled petrol in her diesel Ford rental car in error. She was very agitated apparently, stating "I can not believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing in.

Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations very quickly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Fuel Removal Moulton - Moulton Vehicle Misfuel

I had appreciated a perfect day hiking on my off day and was feeling pleased the following morning as I headed out to aid a new couple holidaying in Moulton. They'd broken down after inserting the wrong fuel in their Renault, and the car was close to an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for actually being so daft. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this situation occurs everyday in Lincolnshire and that it's really nothing to fret about, but he still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove off I mouthed good bye and thought about what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
