It was about ten pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were seated going over the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Abingdon-on-Thames and put petrol in a diesel Peugeot lease car in error. The poor thing was pretty troubled it seemed, crying "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could arrive at the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. One more job in Oxfordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Oxfordshire we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you discover youself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the technical expertise and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is going to trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations rather swiftly.

Remember though that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Oxfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it.
