It was just after five pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's golf results, ready for the seventh job for the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Melton Ross and put petrol in a diesel Renault lease car in error. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another job in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in the event that you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is composed of a mixture of ionized water and urea (32.5%).Adblue tends to be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you started the car with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, triggering serious and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly do not start the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may well cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty easily.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Lincolnshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Melton Ross (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up the car. They will be able to take care of the standard issues which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
