It was about 7 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting there going over the recent rugby, waiting for the 6th job of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Old Gate and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Jaguar rental by mistake. She was rather affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected position and, because it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the woman without delay. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and much less apprehensive.

Provided Services: Our Specialties:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lincolnshire we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously don't turn over the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations quite easily.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Lincolnshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Old Gate (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home.

Wrong Fuel in Car Old Gate - Old Gate Vehicle Misfuel

I had a perfect day cycling on my day off and felt satisfied the next working day as I was on the way to assist a new family on holiday in Old Gate. They pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their Hyundai, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smirked while I heard to the wife berating her spouse for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing takes place quite frequently in Lincolnshire and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyhow, I drained the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove away I shouted farewell and wondered what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
