Wrong fuel in your car in Wallingford? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this situatiuon and get you going once again with our specialist wrong fuel removal services.

It was just before six pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were relaxing there discussing the recent footy, ready for the next call of the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Wallingford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan rental. She was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. One more job in Oxfordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Oxfordshire we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you end up in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the specialised skills and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can potentially trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations pretty expediently.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of your premises full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Oxfordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Wallingford (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the typical problems which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Wallingford - Wallingford Wrong Fuel Assist

A man had broken down just near a road in Wallingford. His Chevrolet car had stopped functioning and he'd no idea what was wrong until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got no sleep the day before and that must have been precisely why.
