Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Oxfordshire we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances very quickly.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
