Wrong fuel in your car in Hagnaby Lock? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this emergency and get you moving again with our expert wrong fuel removal assistance.

It was after ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's golf results, at the ready for the sixth call that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Hagnaby Lock and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover rental. She was quite distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was only a few minutes from the office, we could get to her swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and much less anxious. One more job in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Lincolnshire we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by people not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't start the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. If you did start the car you may probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases rather easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Lincolnshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hagnaby Lock (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up the car. They will handle the normal problems which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
