It was close to ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were seated talking about the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Swaton and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental in error. She was fairly distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Lincolnshire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly never start up the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can easily cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases pretty quickly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container placed in the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Lincolnshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Swaton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your automobile. They will fix the normal troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
