It was just before six pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting there going over the weekend's footy results, waiting for the next call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Tadley and put petrol in a diesel Skoda rental car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. One more job in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Oxfordshire we have found progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people not being aware of how to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will likely produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations very swiftly.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your premises containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Oxfordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.
