It was just after ten pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were seated talking about the weekend's football results, waiting around for the seventh job to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Hundleby and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen hire car. The poor lady was very troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure position and, because it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and less anxious.

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

In Lincolnshire we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by people not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases fairly expediently.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Lincolnshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Hundleby (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill the car. They are also able to fix the most common problems that may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Hundleby - Hundleby Wrong Fuel in Car

I had enjoyed a perfect evening fishing on my holiday and felt satisfied the following working day as I headed out to assist a new couple on vacation in Hundleby. They had conked out after putting petrol in their MINI, and were close to half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman telling her partner off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you even be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing occurs all the time in Lincolnshire and that it is nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his missus. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved so long and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same error... I'd never ever live it down!
