Our Areas of Expertise:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Oxfordshire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course don't start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying in the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Oxfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Crawley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill the car. They will be able to fix the typical issues which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
