It was before five pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Dan and me were seated there going over the weekend's rugby, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Sots Hole and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental car by mistake. She was very irritated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was just a few miles from us, we could find the woman right away. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lincolnshire we have noticed an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Lincolnshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Sots Hole (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They can also take care of the standard problems which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Sots Hole - Sots Hole Vehicle Misfuel

Last week a young man phoned us after his MINI died along a road in Sots Hole. He had by accident put petrol in his diesel vehicle and drove as far as the street before having to pull over. It was in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives locally, reached him in about 15 minutes. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in to the car. "Many kudos to you for your fast response, especially at 5 a.m., I appreciate it."
