It was before eight pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's golf, ready for the seventh call that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Signet and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental car in error. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the car into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Oxfordshire well done in my mind!

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in case you?ve put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? It is definitely damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, causing disastrous and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

Contact us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Oxfordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

We are able to help to refill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car. They can also handle any of the usual problems that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
