Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lincolnshire we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not being aware of how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at once. And definitely be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances very quickly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting in the back of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Wykeham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of the typical issues that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Wykeham - Wykeham Petrol in Diesel

A motorist had stopped just off a street in Wykeham. His Nissan car had ceased working and he had no clue what was the problem until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got absolutely no rest the night before and that must have been precisely why.
