Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Ardington Wick

Petrol in your diesel car in Ardington Wick? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this emergency and get you moving again with our expert fuel removal service.

It was close to five pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the tennis results, prepared for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Ardington Wick and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda lease car in error. The poor lady was pretty irritated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could reach the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Oxfordshire well done in my mind!

Our Services:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Oxfordshire we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously be careful not to start up the car - not even to move it into a parking spot. In case you did start the car you would most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can certainly result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Oxfordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Ardington Wick (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will take care of the common issues which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Ardington Wick - Ardington Wick Wrong Fuel in Car

A man had stopped off a street in Ardington Wick. His Dacia car had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was awry till he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got zero sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason.
