Got a fuel container laying in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it.

We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Oxfordshire we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in OX12 Postcode - Childrey Misfueling

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Saturday and we were on my way to help an older sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel pristine Cadillac Sixty Special in Childrey. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down on a backwater road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was working she told me, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I'd only just got it a short while back after my previous car, which I had owned for about twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a precious Oxfordshire woman!

And so, in case you have filled your petrol automobile with diesel, or petrol in your diesel automobile somewhere in Oxfordshire, speak to us now. Our competent mechanics are ready and waiting for you.

It only took the fuel drainer approximately fifty minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel from the car. He completely cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him dealership prices to get the job properly done.

We fairly recently received a call from a driver who put the wrong fuel in his classic Ford Ranger in Childrey. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "I couldn't believe how fast you were in getting a fuel drainer out to help me when I erroneously petrol in my diesel. Thank you ever so much". As you can imagine we were on-scene rapidly and flushed the engine after draining all the unleaded from the diesel tank. When he arrived the technician said the driver was fuming, but was pleased when we finished.

This really was what is called the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was about. It had become fairly dead until now, and Mark and I were sitting about reading through a couple of old papers. This was an uncommon tranquil time in Oxfordshire. Actually it was so relaxing that the instant the phone rang it made me jump! The motorist on the phone stated: "I have just finished my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel super Vauxhall Corsa". I asked him to inform us where exactly he was located and we set off, arriving in Childrey no more than half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the car and he said many thanks for coming so fast. While we were heading back home we spotted two young ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat. Obviously we got out to help them change it, to their elation.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
