We're just a telephone call away.

It was after eight pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting there talking about the recent sports rankings, waiting for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Upton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi rental car in error. The poor thing was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected position and, as it was only a few miles off from us, we could find her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at.

Our Areas of Competency :

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you?ve poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? It is actually disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will be pushed into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously be careful not to start the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases very expediently.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Got a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Oxfordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.
