Our business is SPA licensed, and delivers nationwide cover for any person who has inadvertently misfuelled.

It was just after 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting going over the recent football, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Woodstock and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai rental in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this happen. She managed to move the car to a secure space and, since it was just a few miles from the office, we were able to find the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and a lot less worried. Yet another job in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Oxfordshire we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely do not start the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank will likely contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Oxfordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Woodstock (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill the car. They will handle the normal issues which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Woodstock - Woodstock Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer had broken down just near a road in Woodstock. His Toyota car had ceased running and he had no clue what was wrong till he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the night before and that could have been why.
