Fuel Rescue Strubby - Strubby Fuel Rescue

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a bright Tuesday and I was on my way to help an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel MG in Strubby. I'd been informed she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up along a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I turned up at the car and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel because I'd just got it a couple of days ago right after my former one, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty five years, eventually died". I got the drain completed and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Lincolnshire woman!

Our Areas of Expertise:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Lincolnshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course take care not to start up the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances quite easily.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Lincolnshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

We are able to get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They can also handle the normal issues that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

A number of the typical things we hear from many of our engineers in Strubby:

Now I'm certainly not excessively inclined to doing work weekends, and a while back was no different. I had just come away from the wife and kids following a superb lunch prepared by the wife, and I was en route to help a guy who had put the incorrect fuel in his Suzuki. He was situated in Strubby thus it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my attention on other stuff and did not realise I had put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on problems as a result of starting it?" I said truth be told there should not be problems and also I'd remove the wrong fuel as soon as possible for him. As expected I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and yet another delighted customer had the ability to continue their trip without any hassle. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make operating on Sundays in Lincolnshire a little easier for me personally!
