It was before 10 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and I were resting there talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th call of the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Kingerby and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Jaguar hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and much less worried. A job in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lincolnshire we have discovered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And most definitely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important issue to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel is likely to produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Lincolnshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Kingerby (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill the car. They will deal with any of the typical troubles which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Kingerby - Kingerby Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man phoned us from Kingerby to say he piped unleaded into his diesel Kia. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my beautiful diesel car!" It only took the engineer about 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He completely cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put clean fuel in the car. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to have the job properly completed.
