It was about eight pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the 6th job that day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Southend and put petrol in a diesel Suzuki rental by mistake. She was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Oxfordshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :
We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.
Adding the wrong fuel - Adding petrol fuel to a diesel engine can lead to all kinds of problems.
Once that happens, you'll notice your engine to start coughing or it might stall. You'll see unusual smoke in the exhaust and starting it back is a problem. Adding diesel to a petrol engine results in similar signs. Whichever of the two kinds of fuels, we can get it fixed for you.
Water Contamination in Engine - Fuel system with water should be drained out completely. If not given immediate attention, rust will begin to build up in the engine apart from the spluttering and jolting of the engine. It's common on boats, and is usually caused by a jerry can used to carry water being used for fuel without first emptying it properly. We'll drain it for you, and we might even be able to help with replacement filters.
Tank with AdBlue - This contamination occurs when you immediately put AdBlue to your tank or you may have mistakenly did it. Misinformation could be among the reasons. People think it?s a fuel additive, it?s not. AdBlue is a liquid that?s added to reduce the harmful effect of your engine?s emission in the exhaust. It must be mounted in a separate tank for a specific purpose. A lot of drivers are victims of this contamination but don?t be anxious as we know how to deal with it.
Red diesel contamination of your engine - There are around 1500 garages selling red diesel in the UK. So you shouldn't be surprised by the fact that red diesel can end up in your fuel tank. It might occur unintentionally while filling from a pump or a jerry can if you're distracted. If that is what you are concerned about, we can have it right quite quickly.
Attempting to drive using old fuel - Fuel degrades after some time, something that is common when the vehicle has been sitting, not driven, for quite a while, or the fuel has been stored for some time. Your engine might start and run, but it probably will not run as well. Emptying out the old fuel is a service we are more than capable of doing.

This was exactly what is called the night shift. It was close to dawn and almost noone was around. It had been pretty uneventful thus far, and me and Brian were loafing around reading through several old papers. This was an unusual tranquil time in Oxfordshire. Actually it was indeed so quiet that the moment the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist said: "I only just concluded my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the Ford by mistake". I instructed him to tell us where the car was and we headed out, getting to him in Southend under half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us profusely for coming out so fast. While we were heading back home we saw two ladies on the edge of the highway who looked like they had a puncture. Accordingly we pulled over to change it, to their delight.
Vehicle Misfuel Southend - Southend Wrong Fuel in Car
I had a wonderful day cycling on my off day and felt satisfied with myself the next working day as I was on the way to assist a new couple who were away in Southend. They pulled over after filling petrol into their Dacia, and they were close to half an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed while I listened to the lady telling her spouse off for being so silly. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this takes place on a regular basis in Oxfordshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, but he still had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and thought about what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the same blunder... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
