It was around ten pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were resting talking over the golf results, waiting for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Skellingthorpe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault rental. She was quite affected it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from our van, we could reach her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Lincolnshire well done in my books!

Services We Give:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lincolnshire we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Any time you get in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical skills and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel is likely to bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases very swiftly.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of the garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Lincolnshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Skellingthorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your automobile. They can also fix any of the standard issues which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
