AdBlue Contamination

All around Oxfordshire we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously be careful not to start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations fairly quickly.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Oxfordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Woodgreen (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill the car. They can also deal with the normal problems which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Woodgreen - Woodgreen Wrong Fuel Drain

A person called us from Woodgreen saying he unfortunately piped unleaded in his diesel Volvo. "Shocking! How could I put unleaded in my lovely diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel from the vehicle. He thoroughly flushed the fuel system and after that put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it didn't cost him dealership rates to get the job professionally completed.
