We are the contractor to help you!

It was close to six pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting there going over the football rankings, at the ready for the next job to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Halesgate and put petrol in her diesel SEAT lease car in error. She was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, since it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and not so worried. Yet another job in Lincolnshire well done in my books!

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lincolnshire we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not being aware of how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases rather swiftly.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Halesgate (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill the car. They can also fix any of the typical problems that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

A gentleman phoned us from his place on a street in Halesgate. He exclaimed, "My car (a Jaguar) is not running and is generating awful noises when I turn the key."

He said he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
