Wrong Fuel in Car Holbeach, Lincolnshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Holbeach

If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Holbeach (wrong fuel Holbeach) we are the professionals you need to speak to. We operate throughout the whole of the Holbeach vicinity and all bordering areas.

It was after five pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and I were resting going over the golf results, waiting around for the 6th call that day to come in. In due time we received a call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Holbeach and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG hire car. The poor lady was fairly affected apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected area and, since it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could reach her swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. Yet another job in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

Listed here are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lincolnshire we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And of course be careful not to start the car - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations rather expediently.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Lincolnshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Holbeach (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up the car. They can also fix any of the common issues that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Holbeach - Holbeach Wrong Fuel Drain

The other day a young man telephoned us soon after his SEAT cut out in the middle of a road in Holbeach. He had by accident put the incorrect fuel in his diesel vehicle and had managed to get as far as the road before needing to pull up. It was still early in the morning and our engineer, who resides not far away, arrived with him in about 20 minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your fast response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I am grateful for it."
