We are ready to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Oxfordshire we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations quite swiftly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Oxfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, if we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Fernham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car. They are also able to deal with any of the usual troubles that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
