It was just after eight pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and me were sitting commenting on the tennis, waiting around for the 8th call for the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Stainsby and put petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi hire car. She was pretty affected apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could find her quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. One more job in Lincolnshire well done in my books!

Wrong Fuel SoS' professional fuel drainers are available 24/7. Simply call up our hotline and someone will come out, flush the contaminated fuel and get you rapidly back on your way.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't start the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container laying in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Lincolnshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Stainsby (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill the car. They are also able to fix any of the typical problems that may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Stainsby - Stainsby Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman phoned us from Stainsby to state that he mistakenly pumped unleaded in to his diesel Land Rover. "Unbelievable! How could I put unleaded in my beautiful diesel car!" It only took our engineer about 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel from the car. He completely flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put clean fuel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him dealer rates to get the job properly completed.
