It was around five pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were resting there talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the next call of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Westwoodside and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected area and, as it was only a few minutes from our van, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and a lot less stressed. A misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not understanding how to to make use of (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously don't turn over the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations fairly easily.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Lincolnshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Westwoodside (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They can also handle any of the standard troubles which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Westwoodside - Westwoodside Fuel Drain

A man had conked out just off a road in Westwoodside. His Lexus engine had stopped functioning and he'd no idea what was wrong until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got zero sleep the night before and that must have been why.
