It was close to seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were seated there talking about the weekend's rugby, ready for the next call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Deddington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental. She was quite distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Oxfordshire we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations fairly quickly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Oxfordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Deddington (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill the car. They will take care of the standard problems which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
