Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly never turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Fuel Removal Hougham - Hougham Fuel Removal

I enjoyed a wonderful day fishing on my off day and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I headed out to assist a young family on vacation in Hougham. They had pulled over after adding diesel in their Mercedes, and the car was about an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed as I listened to the gal berating her spouse for actually being so silly. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass regularly in Lincolnshire and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed farewell and wondered what her indoors would ask me if ever I made the very same error... I'd never ever live it down!
