It was before 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were seated there talking about the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the 8th call of the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in North Ormsby and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental car. The poor thing was very troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things do happen. She managed to move the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from us, we could get to her without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lincolnshire we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank may well result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases pretty easily.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Lincolnshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in North Ormsby (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill the car. They can also fix the most common problems that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue North Ormsby - North Ormsby Petrol in Diesel

A man phoned us from his home on a road in North Ormsby. He explained, "My vehicle (a Mazda) is not running and is producing terrible noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said 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 promptly.
