Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Kirkby Green

Contaminated fuel Kirkby Green? We have the capacity to service the Kirkby Green neighborhood particularly well because one of our technical engineers stays in the neighborhood and is for that reason not far from the action. If you've got petrol in your diesel car in Kirkby Green we'll be completely happy to come out and do a thorough fuel drain. Petrol in diesel in Kirkby Green need not be a massive crisis. We're only a phone call away.

It was just after 7 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting talking over the rugby rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Kirkby Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia hire car. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car to a safe area and, as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. A job in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

If you've put the wrong fuel in a car and somehow were able to get where you were going or have broken down on the side of the road - we can certainly help. Our service plan is entirely mobile and we have the ability to come out regardless of wherever you are and have the vehicle drained, emptied and running again in no time - and for a fair price!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Listed here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Lincolnshire we are encountering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely don't switch on the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is going to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Lincolnshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Kirkby Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill the car. They will be able to handle the typical problems which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Kirkby Green - Kirkby Green Fuel Rescue

A man called us from his house on a close in Kirkby Green. He pronounced, "My car (a MINI) is not starting up and is creating terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he would be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
