We are SPA licensed, and offers national coverage for any person who has mistakenly filled up with the wrong fuel.

It was close to 6 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were resting talking about the weekend's footy, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in North Hykeham and filled petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi rental by mistake. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe position and, as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at.

Services We Provide:

Listed here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lincolnshire we have seen a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations quite quickly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in North Hykeham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car. They will take care of any of the most common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel North Hykeham - North Hykeham Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a terrific day golfing on my holiday and was feeling cheerful the following morning as I was en route to aid a young family who were on vacation in North Hykeham. They'd pulled over after inserting diesel into their Vauxhall, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smiled as I heard to the lady telling her partner off for actually being so confused. "How could you actually manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this happens constantly in Lincolnshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he yet still had an earful. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I waved goodbye and thought about what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the same mistake... I would personally never ever live it down!
