Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Lea

Wrong fuel in your car in Lea? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this time of need and get you going once again with our expert fuel drain service.

It was around six pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Lea and filled petrol in her diesel Audi rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure position and, as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lincolnshire we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not understanding the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases quite easily.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Lincolnshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Lea (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the normal issues which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lea - Lea Vehicle Misfuel

A person contacted us from his residence on a road in Lea. He exclaimed, "My car (a MG) is not starting and is making terrible noises when I turn the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
