It was just before five pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent tennis, at the ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Little Wittenham and put petrol in a diesel Hyundai hire car. She was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and much less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Oxfordshire we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will often lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of your premises full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Oxfordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Little Wittenham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your car. They can also take care of any of the normal troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
