Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Lincolnshire we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to people not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course never crank the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will often bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations fairly simply.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Lincolnshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Thimbleby (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill the car. They will be able to deal with the most common troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Thimbleby - Thimbleby Petrol in Diesel

A couple weeks ago a gentleman telephoned us because his Skoda cut out on a road in Thimbleby. He had accidentally put petrol in his diesel motor and was only able to drive as far as the street before needing to give up. It was really early in the day and our engineer, who stays locally, got to him in approximately ten minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again in to the car. "Many thanks to you for your prompt response, especially at 5 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
