It was after eight pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting talking about the recent sports results, at the ready for the next telephone call to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Glympton and put petrol in her diesel canary yellow Land Rover Range Rover rental car. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, because it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away contented and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my mind!

We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will take care of the usual problems which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour. I reached the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was working she said, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I had only acquired it several days back after my previous one, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty years, finally broke down". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Oxfordshire woman!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
