It was about eight pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were seated there commenting on the recent tennis, waiting for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Kirkby Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen lease car by mistake. She was fairly troubled it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from our van, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. Yet another job in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

Our Fields of Specialties:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lincolnshire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people not being totally sure the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you end up in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical skills and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will often lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances quite easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container in the back of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Lincolnshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Kirkby Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your car. They are also able to take care of any of the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Kirkby Green - Kirkby Green Vehicle Misfuel

Last week a young man called us after his Mazda cut out on a street in Kirkby Green. He had inadvertently put unleaded in the diesel car and was only able to get to the street before needing to stop. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who lives locally, was with him in less than ten minutes. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Many thanks to you for your fast response, especially at 1 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
