It was just after 5 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were seated there going over the weekend's tennis, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Hardwick and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure position and, because it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and much less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Specialties:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Oxfordshire we have noticed a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will often cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking bay we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Oxfordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hardwick (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up the car. They will be able to handle any of the normal troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Hardwick - Hardwick Fuel Rescue

I had a terrific afternoon hiking on my holiday and was feeling contented the following day as I headed out to aid a young couple who were on vacation in Hardwick. They'd conked out after adding diesel into their Mazda, and the car was around half an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed while I listened to the girl chastising her partner for turning out to be so daft. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation takes place quite frequently in Oxfordshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to worry about, even so he in spite of everything had an earful. Poor chap. At any rate, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved so long and considered what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the same mistake... I would under no circumstances live it down!
