It was after 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were relaxing discussing the golf rankings, waiting for the 6th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Chapelgate and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was only a short distance from our van, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and not so worried. Yet another job in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lincolnshire we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you end up in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can potentially lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite quickly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Lincolnshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Chapelgate (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up the car.

Wrong Fuel Chapelgate - Chapelgate Vehicle Misfuel

I enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing on my off day and was feeling pleased the next working day as I headed out to aid a new family who were away in Chapelgate. They had broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their Kia, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you conceivably manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this situation takes place everyday in Lincolnshire and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, nevertheless he still got his ear bent. Unlucky guy. In any case, I drained all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove down the road I waved farewell and thought about what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the exact same error... I would personally never hear the end of it!
