It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! James and I were relaxing going over the weekend's sports results, ready for the seventh call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Clifton Hampden and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel stylish Mitsubishi Challenger rental car in error. The poor thing was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things can happen. She was able to move the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could get to the lady right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases quite swiftly.
Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Clifton Hampden
I'm not necessarily very inclined to running on weekends, and last week was no different. I'd just left the wife and kids after having a fantastic Sunday roast made by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman who filled the incorrect fuel in his husband's Chevrolet Cavalier. He was stationed in Clifton Hampden hence it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up at the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on something else and didn't realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on any kind of problems through driving it?" I said there shouldn't be any damage and also I'd get the fuel drained as soon as possible for him. Naturally I removed the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and thus another contented client had the ability to continue on his trip without any subsequent fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and that is what helps make operating on Sundays in Oxfordshire that tiny bit better for me personally!
