It was after five pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were sitting there talking over the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the next call that day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Torksey and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental car in error. She was rather irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was living in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. A job in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do if you may have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical made of a mix of high-purity ionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).It is definitely damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically if you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely do not start up the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations pretty expediently.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Lincolnshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Torksey (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They can also deal with the standard issues which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Torksey - Torksey Fuel Drain

A customer had conked out off a road in Torksey. His Nissan motor had ceased running and he'd no idea what was faulty until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten very little sleep the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
