It was just before 10 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were seated there talking about the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Greatford and put petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to get the car into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and much less stressed. One more job in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Lincolnshire we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially due to people not understanding how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances pretty simply.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying at the rear of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Greatford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the standard problems which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
