It was about 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were sitting there going over the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the seventh job that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Sandy Bank and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar rental. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few miles off from us, we were able to get to her right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. A job in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lincolnshire we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. If you have started the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can potentially lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances very expediently.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Lincolnshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Sandy Bank (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your car. They can also deal with the common troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Sandy Bank - Sandy Bank Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man had conked out near a road in Sandy Bank. His Citroen car had stopped operating and he had no clue what was the problem till he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got absolutely no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
