It was close to 8 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated talking about the sports results, prepared for the seventh job that day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Murcott and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things sadly happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was just a few miles away from the office, we could get to the customer quickly.

Our Areas of Competence :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Oxfordshire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not understanding how to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations fairly easily.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Oxfordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a garage, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run out of fuel in Murcott (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They are also able to handle the normal troubles that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
