This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Oxfordshire we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And obviously take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. If you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations pretty expediently.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Oxfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, if we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Lower Shiplake (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with the normal troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
