Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Aisthorpe

If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Aisthorpe (incorrect fuel Aisthorpe) we are the people you need to get in touch with. We operate throughout the whole of the Aisthorpe region and all bordering sectors.

It was around 5 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and me were resting discussing the recent footy rankings, waiting for the seventh job for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Aisthorpe and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI rental car by mistake. She was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was only a short distance off from us, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and not so apprehensive. A job in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lincolnshire we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not understanding how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And most definitely do not start up the engine - not even to move it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel is likely to lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances very swiftly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Aisthorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car or truck. They will fix any of the most common problems which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Aisthorpe - Aisthorpe Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman phoned us from his residence on a close in Aisthorpe. He exclaimed, "My car (a Volkswagen) is not running and is generating awful sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel car but then believed he would solve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us that he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
