If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car in Lincoln (wrong fuel Lincoln) we are the company you need to contact. We operate throughout the entirety of the Lincoln area and all adjacent areas.

It was after 9 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! Ray and me were resting there talking about the recent footy rankings, ready for the next call that day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Lincoln and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda lease car by mistake. She was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected space and, since it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could find the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Lincolnshire we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you end up in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical expertise and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can easily result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Remember that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Lincolnshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Lincoln (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will take care of any of the normal problems that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincoln, Lincolnshire

Wrong Fuel Drain Lincoln - Lincoln Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon fishing during my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I was on the way to assist a young couple on holiday in Lincoln. They had stopped after filling diesel into their Chevrolet, and the car was around half an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the woman telling off her partner for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in Lincolnshire and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he in spite of everything got his ear bent. I felt sorry for the guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
