It was about 7 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were seated commenting on the weekend's footy results, waiting for the sixth job to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Burford and put petrol in a diesel BMW rental by mistake. She was quite affected apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, since it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Burford - Burford Fuel Removal

Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Wednesday and I was on my way to assist an old lady after she put petrol in her diesel Volvo in Burford. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station and stranded on a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour. I arrived at the car and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she said, "I am becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I had only acquired it a short while back after my other one, which I had used for over thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Oxfordshire lady!

Our Areas of Experience :

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed in case you have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%).Adblue tends to be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will be dragged into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly never start up the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases rather simply.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed at the rear of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Oxfordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Burford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will handle the usual problems that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
