It was close to five pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Finally we had a call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Hougham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche rental. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things do happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could get to the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lincolnshire we have found a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to crank the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases fairly simply.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank at the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Lincolnshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hougham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to take care of any of the standard issues that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hougham - Hougham Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman had conked out just off a road in Hougham. His Honda motor had ceased functioning and he had no clue what was the problem right up until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got very little rest the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
