AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Oxfordshire we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course never start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations pretty easily.

You should know that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Oxfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Radford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car. They will be able to handle the common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Radford - Radford Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a terrific evening cycling during the weekend and felt pleased the next morning as I headed out to help a young family vacationing in Radford. They'd stopped after putting petrol into their Nissan, and were close to an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife berating her spouse for being so daft. "Just how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this situation occurs everyday in Oxfordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, however he yet still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and considered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Radford

Following are reviews and good examples of fuel drains we have completed in Radford:

A youngster who had only passed his driving test had misfueled his MG by getting petrol in the diesel car at the petrol station close to Radford. He said, "This is only the third time I have filled up my vehicle since I purchased it and I do not know how to proceed." He was worried as his dad had only just bought him the car. He discovered us on the internet and so called us immediately, frightened about what he should do. Our man on the call explained to him that we could be with him within forty-five minutes and to not touch the vehicle while he waited. We did the fuel drain on his vehicle and he said how impressed he was that it was completed so swiftly and without any complication whatsoever.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Radford - Radford Wrong Fuel

A young lady from Radford with her kids in her diesel Volvo had filled her car with £50 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She called us crying and really upset as she had never wrong fuelled previously and didn't know what would happen to her car . We reassured her that all would be okay and that she would be up and running in no time at all. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the children in the back."

Wrong Fuel Assist Radford - Radford Fuel Removal

The other day a man called us when his BMW stopped on a road in Radford. He had mistakenly put unleaded in his diesel motor and drove as far as the street before having to give up. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who resides nearby, was with him in about ten minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again in the car. "Genuine thanks to you for your prompt response, especially at 1 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
