Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Asgarby

Petrol in your diesel car in Asgarby? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this time of need and get you going once more with our expert fuel drain service.

It was after five pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated discussing the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Asgarby and filled petrol in a diesel Chevrolet rental. She was very affected it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and much less concerned. One more job in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lincolnshire we have noticed a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not knowing how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And most certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may well trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations quite expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Lincolnshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Asgarby (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the normal issues that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Asgarby - Asgarby Petrol in Diesel

A person rang us from his home on a road in Asgarby. He exclaimed, "My car (a Peugeot) is not starting up and is creating terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us that he would be certain to tell people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained right away.
