It was after 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were sitting commenting on the recent football rankings, waiting for the 6th job that day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Careby and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

Services We Give:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do if you have put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical made from a mix of high-purity deionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).Adblue is actually devastating to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Lincolnshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Careby (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill the car. They can also handle the normal issues that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Careby - Careby Wrong Fuel

I'd had a great day fishing on my off day and felt pleased with myself the following day as I set out to help a young family holidaying in Careby. They had stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and were about half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the gal telling her man off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on on a regular basis in Lincolnshire and that it is nothing to stress about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I made the very same blunder... I would never live it down!
