It was before seven pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were resting discussing the football results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Berrick Salome and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus lease car in error. She was quite affected apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and much less stressed. A job in Oxfordshire well done in my opinion!

Our assistance is fully mobile and we are able to come out regardless of where you are and have the car drained, cleaned and working just as before in no time - and at a fair price!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Oxfordshire we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to people being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Any time you find yourself in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can easily result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations quite quickly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Oxfordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.
