We are the people to help you!

It was after seven pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were resting there talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth call to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in West Halton and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda rental in error. The poor thing was very affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was just a few minutes from us, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less worried. Yet another job in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do if you have put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made of a blend of high-purity deionized water and urea.It can be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And of course do not crank the car - not even to move it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will often result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations quite quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Lincolnshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in West Halton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill the car. They will be able to handle the normal troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel West Halton - West Halton Wrong Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a fantastic evening golfing on my off day and was feeling contented the next morning as I set off to assist a new couple holidaying in West Halton. They'd broken down after adding petrol into their Mitsubishi, and they were approximately half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for being so confused. "How could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass frequently in Lincolnshire and that it's truly nothing to worry about, but he all the same had an earful. Unlucky boy. In any case, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive away I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if ever I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
