It was just after 9 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were resting commenting on the golf, waiting around for the next fuel drain to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Northorpe and filled petrol in her diesel Renault lease car by mistake. She was very troubled apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to reach her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Specialties:
These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:
AdBlue In Your Diesel
All over Lincolnshire we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.
Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.
Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely never switch on the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances fairly easily.
Remember however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Got a fuel reservoir at the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Lincolnshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

We are able to help to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.

They can also take care of the typical issues which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Northorpe
Usual fuel drain tales in Northorpe:
Now I'm certainly not overly inclined to doing work Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had only just departed the wife and kids following a tasty roast cooked for us by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman who filled the wrong fuel in his Toyota. He was located in Northorpe and so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I drove up at the car and got out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and did not grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought about any problems simply by driving it?" I said generally there probably should not be any kind of damage and that I'd get the contaminated fuel drained quickly. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and yet another contented client could continue on his journey without the difficulty. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what can make working on Sundays in Lincolnshire just that small bit less painful for me personally!
Fuel Removal Northorpe - Northorpe Wrong Fuel Doctor
A customer who had unluckily put unleaded in his diesel Suzuki contacted us for help at the BP filling station in Northorpe. He had decided to top up before going on to the nearby holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol instead of diesel which probably wasn't a smart start to our holiday." It was no challenge whatsoever for our technician to go out and do the fuel drain. We hope they enjoyed their holiday break.
