It was before 10 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! James and me were sitting going over the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the 8th job that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Scopwick and filled petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi hire car in error. She was quite irritated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could reach the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and not so anxious. Another misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lincolnshire we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not knowing the way to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely never crank the car - not even to move it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Lincolnshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Scopwick (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up the car. They can also deal with any of the typical troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
