It was just before 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were resting going over the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Calceby and filled petrol in her diesel Skoda lease car. The poor thing was pretty agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this happen. She was able to get the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away contented and not so worried. One more misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do if you have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is composed of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water.It is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing devastating and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely take care not to crank the motor - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Calceby (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to take care of any of the common issues that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Calceby - Calceby Vehicle Misfuel

A man contacted us from his home on a close in Calceby. He pronounced, "My car (a MG) is not running and is creating awful sounds when I flip the key." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
