It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Paul and me were resting there talking about the recent sports rankings, prepared for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Asthall and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault rental car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, since it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and much less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Oxfordshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel is going to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases fairly easily.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Oxfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Asthall (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car. They will be able to handle the most common troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Asthall - Asthall Fuel Removal

I'd had a fantastic evening hiking on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I set off to help a young family who were on vacation in Asthall. They conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their Kia, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and laughed while I listened to the wife telling her husband off for being so silly. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this occurs all the time in Oxfordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he yet still had an earful by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. In any case, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted so long and considered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the same mistake... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
