It was before eight pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were resting commenting on the football results, ready for the sixth telephone call to arrive. In due time we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Old Gate and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat hire car in error. The poor thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things often happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off contented and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties:

Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do if you may have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? Adblue is actually disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in your tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations fairly easily.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Lincolnshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Old Gate (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car. They will deal with any of the normal problems that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
