It was close to 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were relaxing commenting on the football rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Upton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia hire car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly troubled apparently, telling me "I can not believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, as it was only a few minutes from us, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lincolnshire we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not knowing how to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will likely result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Lincolnshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Upton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill the car. They will fix the most common problems that may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Upton - Upton Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman had stopped just near a road in Upton. His Chevrolet motor had stopped functioning and he'd no clue what was the problem until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that could have been the key reason why.
