It was before 7 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the weekend's rugby rankings, ready for the seventh call to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Skirbeck and put petrol in her diesel MINI rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe area and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and less anxious. One more job in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lincolnshire we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not being totally sure how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And of course never start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will often produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases fairly quickly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Lincolnshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Skirbeck (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will fix any of the usual problems that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Skirbeck - Skirbeck Wrong Fuel Doctor

A person called us from Skirbeck saying he had foolishly piped petrol in to his diesel Nissan. "Unbelievable! I can't believe I put unleaded in my lovely diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer around fifty minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel from the car. He thoroughly flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh diesel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him car dealership prices to have the task professionally performed.
