It was after 5 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting commenting on the tennis results, prepared for the 8th job to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Wallingford and put petrol in a diesel Audi rental car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. A misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my books!

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Oxfordshire we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Whenever you end up in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is likely to lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations pretty quickly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Oxfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of fuel in Wallingford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up the car. They will be able to handle any of the most common problems which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
