It was close to 5 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were resting there talking over the recent football rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Hemswell and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure position and, seeing as it was just a few miles from us, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and much less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lincolnshire we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not knowing how to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank lying in the back of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Lincolnshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Hemswell (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the typical issues which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hemswell - Hemswell Vehicle Misfuel

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon hiking during my holiday and was feeling contented the next working day as I headed out to assist a new couple on holiday in Hemswell. They stopped after filling petrol in their Chevrolet, and were about half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked while I listened to the woman telling her man off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this problem occurs all the time in Lincolnshire and that it's actually nothing at all to get worried about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved bon voyage and considered what my missus would do to me if I made the same mistake... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
