It was around five pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were sitting there talking about the recent tennis results, ready for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Grimsby and filled petrol in her diesel Smart rental car. The poor thing was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could get to her swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lincolnshire we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly due to people not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel is likely to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank at the back of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Lincolnshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Grimsby (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill your car. They can also deal with any of the usual problems that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Grimsby - Grimsby Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a fantastic afternoon fishing on my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a young couple on holiday in Grimsby. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their Nissan, and the car was roughly an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the girl chastising her man for being so daft. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass quite frequently in Lincolnshire and that it's actually nothing to stress about, and yet he still had an ear bashing. Poor chap. At any rate, I drained all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove off I shouted goodbye and considered what my missus would say to me if I made the very same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
