It was just after ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there discussing the sports results, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Little Ponton and put petrol in a diesel Kia lease car by mistake. The poor lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, because it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lincolnshire we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

We're able to help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up the car.
