It was around 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing commenting on the recent footy, waiting around for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in New Cross and put petrol in a diesel Land Rover rental in error. She was quite agitated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could arrive at her right away. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Oxfordshire we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can potentially produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Oxfordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in New Cross (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will handle the usual issues that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor New Cross - New Cross Vehicle Misfuel

A customer phoned us from his place on a street in New Cross. He explained, "My car (a Citroen) is not starting and is creating dreadful sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would solve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He told us that he would be sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
