It was just after eight pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were seated there discussing the recent golf rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Surfleet and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda rental car. She was pretty affected it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and less anxious. A misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

If perhaps you have mistakenly put the wrong fuel in a car or truck and right now have to have a fuel drain you are most likely searching the net searching for a rapid, trustworthy, professional and cost-effective fuel drain business in Surfleet or Lincolnshire. In fact, we are the people for you!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lincolnshire we are discovering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not being aware of the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel may contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations pretty easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying at the back of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Surfleet (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will take care of any of the typical troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Surfleet - Surfleet Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman phoned us from Surfleet to state that he foolishly piped unleaded in to his diesel Lexus. "I can't believe it! How could I put petrol in my diesel car!" It only took our engineer approximately fifty minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel from the vehicle. He completely cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it hadn't cost him car dealership rates to get the work properly done.
