Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lincolnshire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important situation to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances quite easily.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Lincolnshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Kelby (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your vehicle. They can also deal with the common issues which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Kelby - Kelby Wrong Fuel Doctor

I enjoyed a wonderful day fishing on my day off and felt satisfied the next day as I was on the way to assist a young family vacationing in Kelby. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their Nissan, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for being so daft. "Just how could you actually manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs all the time in Lincolnshire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, nevertheless he all the same got an earful by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyways, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the same error... I would personally never hear the end of it!
