Waste Fuel Disposal

We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Oxfordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Oxfordshire we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely never turn over the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. In case you have started the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

If perhaps you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.


Wrong Fuel in Car in OX25 Postcode - Little Chesterton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Monday and we were on the way to assist an elder lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Vauxhall in Little Chesterton. She told us that she had left the petrol station and stranded along a country road en route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and got there inside an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only bought it a week ago right after my former car, which I'd used for over twenty years, inevitably died". I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Oxfordshire lady!

We fairly recently got a phone call about a motorist who put the wrong fuel in his mint condition Mazda929 in Little Chesterton. He had ground to a halt on the street. "It was terrific how speedy you guys were in having an engineer out to assist me after I filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you so much". Obviously we were on-scene rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing all the petrol from the diesel tank. On arrival the fuel drainer said the customer was raging, but was satisfied afterwards.

This was certainly an unsociable time to be awake. It was around 3:30am and nobody was about. It had become rather quiet so far, and me and Brian were relaxing looking through some old articles. It was an uncommon quiet hour in Oxfordshire. It was indeed that peaceful that when the phone finally rang I jumped! The person told me: "I've finished my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in my new Toyota Yaris by mistake". We got him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was located and we set off, arriving in Little Chesterton less than 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleared from the motor and he said thank you for getting there so promptly. As we were going back to the office we spotted two women at the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.

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.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  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. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
