Below are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lincolnshire we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not understanding the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it asap. And of course take care not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel may trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Vehicle Misfuel Spridlington - Spridlington Fuel Removal

I'd had a fantastic day cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful the next day as I headed out to assist a young family who were vacationing in Spridlington. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their MG, and they were around half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman berating her man for actually being so daft. "How could you actually manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this occurs continuously in Lincolnshire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he still had his ear bent by his missus. Poor boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved so long and considered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
