We will help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will deal with any of the usual problems which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can certainly result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations quite quickly.
You should know however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

It truly was what we call the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It was quite quiet up to now, and Paul and I were loafing looking through a number of old newspapers. It was an unusual peaceful time in Oxfordshire. It was indeed so calm that the instant my mobile rang it made me start! The motorist said: "I've only just finished my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in my diesel partner's Smart Forfour". I told him to tell us where exactly the car was located and we set off, arriving in Charlton-on-Otmoor not as much as an hour later. The fuel was removed from the vehicle and he said thanks for showing up so fast. While we were returning to base we spotted two women at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a puncture. Accordingly we got out to change it, to their elation.
