It was around six pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting discussing the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Low Risby and filled petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi rental car in error. She was quite affected it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive.

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lincolnshire we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container laying in the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Lincolnshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Low Risby (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the normal problems that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Low Risby - Low Risby Petrol in Diesel

A man contacted us from his home on a street in Low Risby. He said, "My vehicle (a Mazda) is not running and is creating terrible noises when I turn the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
