Wrong Fuel in Car Banbury, Oxfordshire
Wrong Fuel Drain Banbury - Banbury Fuel Removal
Just had a great night of sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and I was off to assist an elder lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel Chevrolet in Banbury. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station and stranded along a rural road on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location into the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I am becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I'd only just purchased it a short while ago because my old one, which I owned for more than 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Oxfordshire woman!

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.
AdBlue In Diesel
All around Oxfordshire we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by people not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.
Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.
If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will often bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations quite easily.
Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Fuel Drain Banbury - Banbury Fuel Rescue
This was exactly what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was around 3am and noone was around. It had been pretty quiet thus far, and me and John were loafing around reading through several old papers. It was an uncommon peaceful moment in Oxfordshire. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that the moment the phone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The voice stated: "I only just finished my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan". I asked him to inform us where the car was situated and we set off, ending up in Banbury no more than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the engine and he thanked us profusely for coming so rapidly. While we were going back to the depot we found two ladies on the side of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we got out to help them change it, to their delight.
