Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Lincolnshire we are discovering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not knowing the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly do not start the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations very simply.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Thorpe on the Hill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the normal problems that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
