It was close to eight pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Sixhills and put petrol in a diesel Vauxhall lease car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to find the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and much less concerned. One more fuel drain in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

Our service is fully mobile and we can easily come out regardless of exactly where you are and have the vehicle drained, cleaned and running again right away - and at a reasonable price!

Our Services:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lincolnshire we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not knowing how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course don't start the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. In case you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will often bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases quite quickly.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your premises containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Lincolnshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Sixhills (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to take care of any of the usual troubles which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Sixhills - Sixhills Fuel Removal

A man had conked out off a road in Sixhills. His MINI engine had ceased operating and he'd no clue what was awry right up until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got zero rest the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
