It was close to ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were resting there going over the footy rankings, prepared for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Duns Tew and put petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental in error. She was fairly affected apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the lady without delay. The bad fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and much less worried. One more fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties: Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Oxfordshire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And certainly do not crank the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Oxfordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Duns Tew (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill up your car. They are also able to deal with any of the common problems that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
