Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Oxfordshire we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course don't switch on the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you may likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Oxfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.
