It was before 9 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and me were resting talking over the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Wantage and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel precious Audi A4 hire car in error. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Oxfordshire done well in my mind!

Out of Fuel Services
Run out of fuel in Wantage (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the most common issues which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances quite easily.
Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely wet and useless.
Wrong Fuel in Car in OX12 Postcode - Wantage Misfueling
Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Saturday and we were en route to help an older sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel maroon Mitsubishi Outlander in Wantage. I'd been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down on a rural lane on route to see her grandchildren. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and was with her within 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I am becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had just purchased it several days ago because my previous one, which I'd owned for about 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a pleasant Oxfordshire woman!
