In due time we received the call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Woodstock and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi rental car. She was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!"

Our Areas of Expertise :

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Oxfordshire we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly simply.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Oxfordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Woodstock (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your automobile. They are also able to fix the normal problems that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
